Eclipse

So there was a lovely solar eclipse over the weekend, visible across Japan and the western United States. Unfortunately, that's not where I live so I had to enjoy it online... There are some amazing photos and videos around.

This is yet another amazing timelapse video!


From the Youtube page:
'700 pictures through a Coronado Solar Max 60 Double Stack telescope were used to make this video. The Telescope has a very narrow bandpass allowing you to see the chromosphere and not the much brighter photosphere below it.' 

Really lovely! I wish I could have seen it myself! Oh well, there's a rocket launching in the morning that I'll get to watch! Hurrah!
