What they don't tell you about total solar eclipses is the sky darkens right over you, and at the horizon you see a sunrise/sunset effect...only it's in every direction. Truly breathtaking. My capture of a particularly sublime one on April 8, 2024: "Ultimate Shadow".

#Totalitarianism, from my point of view, is a situation where the lives of individuals and local communities are subjected to some kind of overall #regulation and #control . And the more this total regulation and control interferes into small aspects of their lives (the more total), the higher is the degree of this #totality .
Hence, totalitarianism is not the same as #dictatorship - theoretically, there can be a dictatorship with a low level of totalitarianism (the dictator only wants taxes but without interfering in people's lives in detail) and conversely a #democracy with a high level of totalitarianism (a supermajority votes that total control for the entire population).

Taken in the heat of the moment through my telescope lens: it honestly doesn't come close to fully capturing the awesomeness, but this picture, which I call "Atmospheres", does convey some of what I experienced on April 8, 2024.

Sunrise? Sunset? No, something much more awesome, that wraps around the horizon and you can see approaching at lightning-speed from the distance. The motions of the stars, made real. My capture of last April's total solar eclipse: "Ultimate Shadow".

Sunday the 21st @ 10:17 UTC is the full #BuckMoon in July 2024.
Please share lots of #photos when the #Moon is full.

There will be 8 more #FullMoons before the full #WormMoon, on 14 Mar 2025, along with its #TotalLunarEclipse (#TLE) @ 07:00 #UTC — night of the #KrononautMoon.

March 2025 will welcome the first of 3 #TLEs, on into 2026 — 3 #celebrations of #Time, #Timelessness & #TimeTravel, inviting #TimeTravelers to visit the #Earth or send us a #signal on those nights. Participation is open to all, wherever you would like to be.

"On the Night of the Total Lunar Eclipse,
Time Travelers beam down in their timeships."

A cycle of 3 #Krononaut #Moons (#shadow of the #TLE) will begin in March #2025, thru March #2026. Typically, the dark period of #lunar #eclipse #totality lasts for around an #hour.

“A total solar eclipse captivated North America in April of 2024. Millions of people watched as daylight plunged into darkness. A luminous, almost otherworldly ring replaced the familiar view of the Sun. Totality had arrived. But just how common is such an experience? How frequently do total solar eclipses occur, and are there places on Earth more prone to eclipses than others?...”

#totality

I didn’t get to see this one but I saw #totality in 2017 and Joe’s description of seeing a total solar #eclipse is 100% accurate. You totally become that guy. “Oh you saw 99%? Dude, you, no, it’s not the same.” https://youtu.be/NZr5HaFAfhw?si=rbIrLif4e1fD9w1G

Having never photographed a #SolarEclipse I had no idea what I was doing and rolled with it in the moment. I’m pretty happy with the final product, it turned out better than I expected! Definitely a wild experience 🌑☀️

The darkness for the 2024 eclipse was so much more impressive than in 2017; so much deeper, with truly black tones toward the zenith and vivid twilight colors all around the horizon. Here's my modest capture of what it was like, in "The Ultimate Shadow".

Here's an image of the stunning "diamond ring effect" from this week's eclipse. Prints available at https://rickberk.pixels.com/featured/the-diamond-ring-rick-berk.html

Also got one of the #eclipse much closer to #totality before the clouds all settled in.
