TIL - Its not every day you can see the earth eclipsing the sun.

in #astronomy8 years ago (edited)

I've heard of the moon eclipsing the sun and the earth's shadow eclipsing the moon, but never the other way around until this...

If you are on a sun observing satellite it can happen, check out the end of the eclipse footage.

@gavvet a lot of people . Do not know is a solar eclipse. But there is an eclipse of the moon and also there is the convergence of the planets in a phenomenon called regression planets

Regression is where planets can circle backwards in the sky... that is cool too.

Really @gavvet Thank you very much for the information added

Excellent dear friend @ gavvet magnifico material
This is the last news from my country says that on February 26 there will be an annular solar eclipse that will pass through Argentina, but its full visibility will be only in southern Chile, province of Chubut (Argentina), south of Angola and north of Zambia. This astronomical phenomenon occurs when the Moon interposes between the Sun and the Earth.

Thank you very much for this beautiful image
Maybe do something with the information on Sunday if I do something I'll pass the link.
To give me your opinion
