What We Know About How Animals Reacted to the 2017 Eclipse
When the moon got in the sun’s way last August, people were expecting it. Many of us humans snapped up hotel rooms years in advance and traveled great distances to stand together for a few minutes in darkness.

Double the fun: Appearance of the 22° halo during a total solar eclipse – Halo Phenomena
Cool: A simulation of what a 22 degree halo *during* a total solar eclipse would look like. It turns out it’s not just the brightness that would differ, because the corona’s a ring, not a disc!
Double the fun: Appearance of the 22° halo during a total solar eclipse – Halo Phenomena
At the Arbeitskreis Meteore (AKM) spring meeting in March 2018, we discussed an observation made by Jörg Strunk during the “US eclipse” from August 21st, 2017: A 22° halo was visible in cirrus clouds around the sun up to around half a minute before the onset of totality. Similar observations…
Back from Oregon & posting more eclipse photos!

Back from Oregon & posting more #eclipse photos! We took a family vacation up to Portland & went down to Woodburn for the day of the eclipse.
Seeing a total solar eclipse in person was amazing. Photos just don’t do it justice.
For one thing the corona is really bright. Not harmfully bright, and not enough to block out stars and planets, but enough that it drowned out the shadowed moon when I tried to do full-sky shots.
The sky was dark blue like twilight, with a light orange band around the horizon. Where the sun would be was the solid black disc of the moon, surrounded by the streaming white corona, looking like a home in the sky.
It lasted a little over a minute. It felt like no time at all.

I can’t believe this is only a month away. This year has felt like it’s crawling by so slowly.

Last year’s solar eclipse seen from Los Angeles. I was waaaay out of the viewing area for yesterday’s eclipse seen across Australia and the Pacific Ocean, but I got to see a really good partial eclipse last year. More photos and commentary about the experience on my blog.

Sun viewed through eclipse glasses
Sun viewed through eclipse glasses on Flickr.
Of the various ways I looked at the solar eclipse, my favorite was a set of “eclipse glasses” made from exposed photographic film. Everything else felt like I was looking at a picture of the sun, rather than watching something here and how, except for this and the welding helmet. And the welding helmet turned everything green.
After looking at the sun for a few seconds through the glasses, I stuck one in front of the camera and took this shot.

Eclipse just past greatest coverage. It’s still bright out, but noticeably dimmer than this time yesterday. Filtered scope. Best thing about coming up here it’s all the people with different viewing setups.

Shotwell is getting more annoying all the time. For example: it assumes you're importing from a pure camera, so if you plug in, say, a smartphone, it offers to import every single image on the device. Including your web browser cache. That's helpful.
But the latest: It strips out timezone data?!?! I uploaded a whole batch of eclipse photos dated tomorrow. At least Flickr lets me fix it with two clicks for the whole set.
