Next week's Total Solar Eclipse is the first in Spain since 1905 - but the Moon orbits Earth once every 28 days, so why don't we get an eclipse every 28 days? Earth just happens to be the only planet in the solar system where such a phenomenon occurs →

This video was filmed inside the Arctic Circle, just between the Canada-Alaska-Russia border. This phenomenon can only be observed once a year, for 36 seconds. The moon appears and disappears. Immediately afterward, there is a 5-second total solar eclipse. This phenomenon only occurs at perigee - the point where the moon is closest to the earth.

When day suddenly turns into night 🌑 A rare and mesmerizing sight: the totality phase of a solar eclipse, captured in Argentina. At this moment, the Moon completely obscures the solar disk, revealing the glowing solar corona—an extraordinary phenomenon that can be observed from Earth for only a few minutes.

Cities across Mexico, including Mazatlan, were the first in North America to experience the total solar eclipse. There will not be another solar eclipse in North America for 20 years.

A Pakistani student made a model of solar eclipse and lunar eclipse. Student moved the earth to show how solar eclipse happens. A Maulana was watching this very closely and told him that earth doesn't move as per Quran. Allah has made earth stationary and mountains stop earth from moving. In the end, that student said Quran is right and science is wrong while other students shouted SubhanAllah.

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.

On April 8, the Moon, the Sun, and Earth will be *NSYNC, causing a total solar #eclipse across the Americas. Lance Bass shares how to safely enjoy the view (while sharing a few more puns).

There’s going to be no escape to Mars or anywhere else in the Solar system. Earth is the only habitable planet we know of. There is no planet B. We need to stop destroying the one planet that supports an abundance of life.

THE IMPOSSIBLE ECLIPSE? The Selenelion Lunar Eclipse defies the heliocentric model. This rare phenomenon occurs when both the Sun and the Moon are visible above the horizon at the same time during an eclipse. According to the globe model, a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth’s shadow blocks the Moon. But how can that be if the Sun and Moon are both in the sky? Not only that, but the Moon’s so-called “occultation” happens from the top down, rather than the bottom up, which contradicts the idea that the Earth’s shadow is responsible. So what’s really going on here? Another sign that we don’t live on a spinning ball. Research #FlatEarth

JUST IN: The total solar eclipse crosses over Mazatlán, Mexico with the sun getting completely blocked out by the moon. The spectacle happened at approximately 11:07 AM mountain time in the Mexican beach vacation town. According to NASA, the sight in the town lasted for over 4 minutes. The total solar eclipse is set to first take place in the U.S. near Eagle Pass, Texas at 1:32 PM local time.

Safety first! The Artemis II astronauts can be seen in their eclipse glasses, worn to protect their eyes when they experienced a solar eclipse on April 6. The Sun, the Moon, and the Orion spacecraft aligned — and Moon joy was had!

Why don't we have a solar eclipse every month? Because the Moon's orbit is tilted over the ecliptic plane, changing the placement of its shadow. [🎞️ NASA Goddard Space Flight Center]

Jeff Bezos: I think most of the world recognize that we should go to the Moon first. We'll go to Mars and we'll do all the other things. But the Moon is the first best step and there are many reasons for that. But it's kind of a gift. It's so near Earth. We can get there in three and a half days. We can return in three and a half days. You can go anytime you want. You don't have to wait for the planetary alignment to be just right. And you can only go to Mars every two years or so. And so there are a lot of advantages to the Moon. The Moon’s gravity well is much lower than Earth’s, so when you get materials from the Moon, you can lift them off the Moon using about 28 times less energy per kilogram than is needed to lift something off Earth.

Katy Perry spent 11 minutes near space. Seven days of headlines. Four astronauts traveled farther from Earth than any human in history — 252,760 miles. They watched a solar eclipse from the Moon’s shadow. NASA is flying humans around the Moon right now. Katy Perry got more coverage. NASA reports to the president. Either the Moon isn’t the story, or the president is.

The video was shot beyond the Arctic Circle,right between the Canada-Alaska-Russia border. It only takes a few seconds, but the spectacular view is admirable. This phenomenon can be observed only once a year for 36 seconds, immediately followed by a total solar eclipse for 5 sec.

$Elon Musk: We’re heading toward a future where human intelligence becomes a microscopic minority—not just on Earth, but across the entire solar system. Best case? Earth-based intelligence only taps into about one billionth of the Sun’s energy. That’s it. Just a fraction of a fraction. Even the total solar energy reaching Earth is roughly half a billionth of the Sun’s output—and that’s already the majority of what we can access today. Now imagine expanding beyond Earth. The moment intelligence scales into the solar system, the gap explodes. Orders of magnitude more energy. Orders of magnitude more intelligence. What exists on Earth today becomes almost negligible in comparison. We’re not just building smarter systems—we’re entering an era where intelligence itself scales with energy. And the solar system has almost unlimited supply. The real question isn’t if this happens… it’s how humanity fits into a world where it’s no longer the dominant form of intelligence.$
