During a partial solar eclipse, look under the trees: you'll see hundreds of tiny crescents on the ground! It's the pinhole effect: each small gap between leaves acts like a natural projector, casting miniature images of the partially eclipsed sun.

What's Missing From This Solar Eclipse? 🌞🌖 Have you ever stopped to think that when you see a solar eclipse, you never see the moon before or after the eclipse? Most people don't. What we see is a black circle appearing out of nowhere and moving across the face of the sun. The point being, a solar eclipse is not what they taught you in school. Nobody knows exactly what it is, but without a doubt, it's not the moon blocking out the sun.

Blink and you'll miss it 🌑☀️ A total solar eclipse swept across North America yesterday, blocking out the Sun for a few moments. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and, for a short period, blocks the face of the Sun, save for a visible ring of light, known as the Sun’s corona. These images by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-16) captured the moon's shadow casted on Earth's surface moving across North America from 16:00 to 23:00 CEST. 🎥 European Space Agency NOAA Satellites

You could witness an annular solar eclipse tomorrow! (If you’re in Antarctica, that is. 🥶) Starting at 5:48 a.m. EST on Tuesday, Feb. 17 (that’s 6:48 p.m. local time at Antarctica’s Concordia Station), an annular solar eclipse will be visible over part of Antarctica. Annular eclipses occur when the Moon blocks the Sun but doesn’t appear large enough to cover the whole thing, leaving a “ring of fire” visible around the Moon. Places outside the path of annularity — including parts of Antarctica (like McMurdo Station), southern Africa, and South America —will see a partial solar eclipse, when the Moon blocks a portion of the Sun. Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere will be none the wiser — the Sun will appear normal like any other day. (But don’t look at it directly without proper solar viewing glasses!) Curious how that geometry works? Learn more:

Artemis II is now entering a solar eclipse that will last for about an hour as Orion, the Moon and the Sun align. During this phase, the crew will see the Sun disappear behind a mostly darkened Moon.

A 3D model of the solar system, driven by the sun's gravitation pull. The solar system does not look like a flat spinning mobile. The sun hold 99.8% of the mass in the solar system and it's gravity keeps every planet , asteroid and comet locked in orbit around it.

Astronomia Solar is a miniature model of our system, interpreted as a high jewelry creation. Among the many planets it features, one of them is more familiar than the others. It's Earth, rotating around the red sun and on its own axis.
