Hmm I'd be stupid not to go to Namibia while this is going on: total solar eclipse, then a Skeleton Coast road trip, then safari in Botswana would be just the thing...

Two European satellites mimic a total solar eclipse as scientists aim to study its corona.
The satellites have created the first artificial solar eclipse by flying in precise formation, providing hours of on-demand totality for scientists.
Dubbed Proba-3, the €181 million mission has generated 10 successful solar eclipses so far.
ESA released the eclipse pictures at the Paris Air Show on Monday.
The best artificial Total #SolarEclipse ever, delivered by ESA's #Proba3 spacecraft duo of which one carries the telescope while the other plays Moon - this allows imaging the solar #corona closer to the photosphere than any other coronagraph: https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/Proba-3/Proba-3_s_first_artificial_solar_eclipse
Talk about unfortunate timing ... Andrei Zhukov wanted to discuss the first #corona images from #Proba3 at the Belgian #SolarEclipse Conference - but the spacecrafts' commissioning took a bit longer than expected so the images are still embargoed. And will be released next Monday at around 14:30 UTC at Le Bourget - see https://www.esa.int/Newsroom/Press_Releases/ESA_Media_Invitation_Programme_for_the_2025_Paris_Air_Show_at_Le_Bourget for details - and online. 3/n
Next at the #SolarEclipse Conference Nick James talked about new (and finally amateur-affordable) polarization-sensitive cameras in which each pixel comes with a polarizer: since it's a while til the next solar eclipse he demonstrated it with the #Moon where the #polarization of the maria is higher than of the highlands, matching expectations. 2/n
Got up early yesterday to see the partial solar eclipse from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. It was only visible for about 15 minutes through a narrow cloud window. Well worth it! #photography #partialeclipse #solareclipse #solareclipse2025 #partialeclipse2025 #landscape #seascape #EastCoastKin

Nice #Sun halo during this morning’s #SolarEclipse. #Malvern #Worcestershire #UK
And here’s a shot of today’s partial #SolarEclipse in #Göttingen as seen by our #heliotrope. Enjoy!

Cette éclipse a été l'occasion de faire un atelier fabrication de camera oscura, et même si nous n'avons pas vu grand chose, c'était fun <3
Une des deux était faite à partir d'une boîte en carton, l'autre d'une conserve de cacahuètes au wasabi.

This morning's partial solar eclipse.
Took quite a bit of work to tease out this view through the clouds.
I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime

You can also see structures (mountains, rims of craters and impact basins, etc.) at the lunar limb.
There are also sunspots (and groups of them) and solar faculae on the surface of the Sun.
Solar eclipse from Wedemark north of Hanover, Germany, at the maximum of the eclipse (12:16 CET) with the Moon covering 19.5% of the Sun.
Photo taken with f=600 mm on a Canon EOS 6D with Baader Planetarium solar filter film. Cropped image, edited with RawTherapee.
The clouds cleared and Scopey did me super proud as always!
So glad we added my camera to the dream team too, she gets such pretty pictures!
Partial Solar Eclipse, the Moon got hungry and ate 33% of the Sun!
The Great Beetle eats the Sun. (Today's partial #SolarEclipse in the UK.)
This is why I wanted clouds…

Look how amazing the partial solar eclipse is this way.
