#RingOfFire over #EasterIsland
#Astronomy #Picture of the Day
A timelapse movie from the satellite shows the shadow racing across the South Pacific at 2,000 mph. Very few people were inside the shadow zone--less than 175,000 by some estimates. The largest group of astronomers congregated on Easter Island (Rapa Nui) where the eclipse was maximum.
Can you spot it?

There's still part of an eclipse going on.

A partial solar eclipse will be visible from the southern half of South America, much of the Pacific Ocean and part of Antarctica. A partial eclipse will be visible from somewhere on the Earth from 15h 43m to 21h 47m UTC.
From this track, the Moon will cover most of the Sun, but a narrow ring of the solar surface will remain visible around the edge of the Moon's disc. An annular eclipse will take place somewhere on the Earth's surface from 16h 50m to 20h 39m UTC.
An annular solar eclipse will take place today from a narrow track crossing the Pacific Ocean, and the south of Chile and Argentina.

Here's hoping our observatories in Chile can send us some postcards

I wish this was coming back: soon it'll have been one year since I saw the annular solar eclipse in Odessa, Texas. In this picture I took you can see the ring-like sun being projected onto the ground through the leaves. There's nothing else like it...

This past October, I trekked up to Hesperus Mountain with two other photographers to try to capture images of the annular solar eclipse with the mountain ridge. This was not the best image of the day, but the artifacts produced by the budget telephoto zoom I was using (the ghosting and pinwheel effect) are interesting.

You don't need an 8K monitor to see the detail, thankfully - they zoom in.

@podfeet and I traveled to Utah where I was able to get some gorgeous views of star trails and later a video of the Oct 14th annular solar eclipse. #annulareclipse #startrails https://www.podfeet.com/blog/2023/10/star-trails-insta360/
Did a quick trip to Sante Fe, New Mexico to watch the eclipse. We observed from 10,300 feet, and the Aspens at that elevation had all changed color.

Normal people doing people cool nerdy stuff on neutral ground... Why can't people be this cool the rest of the year?

"Man does not behold the face of the Gorgon and live!" Perhaps not, but we can glimpse a shadow of its image. So it was with the annular eclipse last Saturday in West Texas. Through pinholes in leaves, images of the sun were projected onto the ground, a sun that had become not a disk, but a ring...the "ring of fire". I might dub this piece "Annula", but whatever you call it, it was one of the eeriest and creepiest sights I've ever seen.
