Solar & lunar eclipse composite

Planetary Society member Zaak Barnes from Denver, Colorado, created this beautiful composite of two eclipse photos he took: the 2024 total solar eclipse on the right and a 2022 total lunar eclipse on the left.

On the solar eclipse side, you get a great view of solar prominences, which were among the most exciting parts of this year’s eclipse.

I will give it to the cloud cover for being beautiful and amazing, even though it was super annoying lol

Color edits! After doing red & blue I had to do yellow and green! Before and after maximum

a partial solar eclipse with cloud streaking, edited to a green hue

One of the side effects of using an eclipse filter is that you must then take a long exposure. Clouds are in motion and that leads to pretty cool streaking effects like we see here! The doubled effect was caused by a kid bumping my camera, but I think it looks pretty cool lol

Behold, one of my shots of the one of which I edited in a red hue to it! I got the idea from seeing someone's cool graphics that they made for the

a partial solar eclipse, covered in a light haze of clouds against a dark background. this version has a red hue edited in

OH! OH! I just found this gem among my bracketed exposures of the eclipse! Got a super nice rainbowy halo during the diamond ring. And gorgeous wispy clouds all around! Single exposure, no blending.

Total solar eclipse

    This photo from the Eclipse is funnier when you realize that the pyramid is a Bass Pro Shop 🎣

    Got a welding helmet?
    READ THIS:

    "The only ones that are safe for direct viewing of the Sun with your eyes are those of Shade 12 or higher. These are much darker than the filters used for most kinds of welding."

    A stunning celestial event is visible across the country Monday, April 8, when the moon crosses directly in front of the sun: a total . For those in the path of totality, there will be a few brief moments when the completely covers the & the world becomes dark.

    A partial solar will be visible across the contiguous United States, so even if you're not directly in the path, you should be able to see something special, weather permitting.

    Did you know that:

    • when the eclipse is happening the moon will block some of the sunlight making it get darker outside than usual?

    • when your eyes adjust to the dark your pupils widen to capture more light

    • the unblocked part of the sun is still the same amount of powerful

    • you can permanently damage your retina by looking at the sun

    Put all those facts together and think about it.

    90% eclipse can still get ya.

    3/25/24 — Open 6-9p. Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

    Reminder... The solar eclipse is just 2 weeks away. Masses of people, normally safe at home during darkness, will be gathered to watch the moon block the sun's light – a 3-minute bonus-round smorgasbord for creatures of the night!

    A composite image of 2 books side by side. On the left: A man stands alone at night, in fog among brambles near a barren tree. Ghostly bluish apparitions of a full moon and a beautiful pale woman with solid white eyes, crimson lips, and fangs fill the sky. 13 original stories that reveal the roles vampires have played throughout human history.... "The Secret History of Vampires" edited by Darrell Schweitzer. On the left: 19 ORIGINAL TALES BY THE MASTERS OF TERROR. "STALKERS." NOVELLAS BY: DEAN R. KOONTZ, JOHN COYNE, F. PAUL WILSON. STORIES BY: ROBERT R. McCAMMON, RICK HAUTALA, REX MILLER, Continued on back cover. EDITED BY ED GORMAN & MARTIN H. GREENBERG. A red border surrounds a purple Gothic doorway. The sides are scalloped columns topped with skulls. A heavy arch coveys the book's title. Decorative leaves surround an evil-looking skeleton, arranged as a gargoyle, appearing to bear the weight of the title.

    Use your selfie camera to take a picture of the full moon tonight.

    Hold your phone up in front of you with the behind you and look at your phone to line up the shot.

    This is good practice for the because the moon and sun appear the same size in our sky.

    By using your selfie camera with the Moon/ behind you it's easier to see your screen and change camera settings.

    This is one of the only times I will tell you to bring your phone to play with while

    3/21/23 — Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

    Here in SW Ohio are many prehistoric first-peoples archaeological sites: Fort Ancient's Great Serpent Mound, SunWatch Indian Village, and more which could make interesting Solar eclipse viewing...

    The big eclipse is just a month away! If you want to dig deeper into Solar science, these might be for you! We're within, but near the edge of the path of totality. The center is just a short trek north of here. I'm really looking forward to it.

    A composite image of two photos of books, side by side, as follows: On the left is AAS 510, a book in the Ann Arbor Science Paperbacks series, originally priced at $1.95, "THE SUN" by Karl Kiepenheuer. "Anyone interested in what man will experience in planetary space should read this book."- Leo Goldberg The upper half of the book is orange with the title in big white letters. The lower half is burnt orange with an orange circle representing the sun. On the right is "Total Eclipses of the Sun" by J. B. Zirker. A burgundy band with white lettering across the top edge identifies this as a PRINCETON SCIENCE LIBRARY book. Below this is a black section for the title, also in white. A yellow band, thicker than the top one, bears the author's name in black letters. The lower two-thirds of the cover bears a lie resolution, pixelated photo of a black eclipsed sun in the bottom left corner with coronal emanations stretching into space, bright yellow near the sun's surface, quickly dimming to shades of orange further out.
