SOLAR ECLIPSE! This Wednesday, August 12th, the path of totality will go across Russia, Greenland, Iceland and Spain. Totality lasts about 1-2 minutes when the moon blocks the sun...leading to temporary darkness. Btw, the next total solar eclipse in the *contiguous* United States will occur on August 22, 2044. #Solareclipse

From the Moon, a lunar eclipse looks like a total solar eclipse, but it lasts a LOT longer. For NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, that means the team has to plan carefully for the 4 hours that the spacecraft — and its solar panels — will be in the dark and the cold. 🌑🛰 1/3

🌒☀️ THE UK’S BIGGEST SOLAR ECLIPSE SINCE 1999 IS ALMOST HERE! ☀️🌒 Good afternoon everyone, On Wednesday 12th August, people across the UK will have the chance to witness the greatest solar eclipse visible from the UK since the famous 1999 eclipse — and we won’t get another eclipse this impressive from the UK until 2081! 🤯 Exactly how much of the Sun disappears behind the Moon — and the time of maximum eclipse — will depend on where you are in the country. Some western areas will get an especially impressive view as the eclipse takes place during the evening and heads towards sunset. 🌅🌒 ⚠️ PLEASE PROTECT YOUR EYES! Never look directly at the Sun, even when most of it is covered by the Moon. Use proper certified solar-eclipse glasses or an indirect viewing method such as a pinhole projector. Ordinary sunglasses are NOT safe. 📲 Please share or forward this to your family and friends so they know there’s something rather special happening in the sky on Wednesday evening! After all, the next comparable UK opportunity is a very long wait… 2081! 😳☀️🌒

As scientists prepare for the total solar eclipse set to cross Greenland, Iceland, and Spain on August 12, 2026, NASA has announced a specialized scientific campaign to study the Sun's atmosphere. The space agency will deploy specialized WB-57 high-altitude research aircraft flying at 50,000 feet directly along the path of totality. Equipped with high-speed visible and infrared cameras, the aircraft will chase the Moon’s shadow to extend scientific viewing time of the solar corona to nearly three minutes. Flying above Earth's lower atmosphere allows researchers to capture infrared data normally blocked by moisture, aiding ongoing studies into solar atmospheric heating and solar wind dynamics.

Yesterday, I was so impressed by Ben Cooper’s photograph capturing the different stages of the solar eclipse in a single image that I immediately started adding the same idea to my eclipse project. Now it’s tested and ready. You can choose any point on Earth and any solar eclipse from the past 4,000 years or the next 1,000 and see how the Sun moved across the sky during the eclipse.
