  1. RE: spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112237

    2 years ago, April 8, 2024: I witnessed the total solar eclipse at Mesquite, Texas (eastern Dallas metro). We could see totality through thin clouds. It was a relief because it was overcast all morning. Cumulus clouds were slower to form than forecast because they depend on solar heating, which was diminished by the eclipse. We couldn't see the corona lines like I saw in 2017. But everyone noticed an enormous prominence (solar flare) peeking around the Moon. #SolarEclipse2024 #astronomy #weather

  6. A year ago on the return trip from #SolarEclipse2024, I stopped at Arizona's Meteor Crater. It's officially Barringer Crater, after the man who first proposed it might be an impact crater, tried to understand its geology, but died before he could prove it. Later it became the first proven impact site after geologist Eugene Shoemaker noticed its geology was like Nevada's nuclear test blast craters, but vastly bigger. spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112265 #astronomy #geology #space #spacegeek #travel

  11. A year ago on the return trip from #SolarEclipse2024, I posted a picture (which I took the previous day) of the Sierra Madera impact crater near Fort Stockton, Texas. The crater is 8mi/13km wide and US Hwy 385 goes through the middle of it. But the highway is the only spot you can see it since the rest of the crater is private property. So it was easy to keep the stop quick, take a few pictures and continue the drive. spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112258 #astronomy #geology #space #spacegeek #travel

  16. A year ago I was on the drive back home on the #SolarEclipse2024 road trip. From the far point of the trip in Houston, I made some more #space related stops on the way home: Sierra Madera impact crater near Fort Stockton TX, NSF's Very Large Array radiotelescope near Socorro NM and Meteor Crater near Flagstaff AZ. Overnight stops were at Austin TX, Las Cruces NM, Flagstaff AZ and Brigham City UT. #astronomy #space #spacegeek #travel

  21. @TidalFlats @KrajciTom my astronomy club just informed me of this exquisite work.

    Last year’s corona really stuck in my head as different. I immediately thought “brushed hair”. 2017 reminded me more of flower petals
