Gee, THERE'S an insightful post! How about dates, times and paths of visibility?

Where are the paths of totality?

Or the fact that years into the future, you will no longer see solar eclipses on the Earth?

Dumbass, you don't know anything, do you? The annular solar eclipse in about a week or so will track through the western states across Utah and down into Texas I believe. If it is clear that day out east and you have a white light solar filter to protect your eyes, you will be able to see it as a partial covering of the Sun by part of the Moon.

I know you're a douche, does that count?

Can you count? How many packets of special sauce am I holding up?

I bet you don't even know what came first, the sun or the moon.

Ok, douche nozzle.

Ok, douche nozzle.

Tell me the difference between a rotation, a revolution, and an orbit.

Then tell me the difference between apogee and aphelion.

You're so dumb, you think your douche nozzle goes in your left ear.

Come to think of it, that might work.

There, there.

I bet you even think UFOs hide out inside a hollow metal moon! Admit it, Dweeb.

I wasn't optimistic about getting a usable shot of today's solar eclipse, but just at the peak of the eclipse, the Sun happened to peek through a convenient gap in the otherwise heavy cloud cover.

This is from Sacramento, California.

Nice picture Bob. Nothing but all clouds and rain here of course. You captured a nice range of colors there, from reds, yellows and blues! Strange vertical striations on the left side of the picture maybe an artifact from low light in your sensor. For all your processing though, there is a speck of dirt, maybe a bird, or a UFO near center that I took out for you.

I saw two of them, one of which you did not remove. I assumed them to be birds.

I see no other significant artifacts. And yes, I think it must have been a bird.

Funny I missed that. I guess I didn't look very close.

Sure, rotation is when he sits on it and turns. Revolution is when they all band together to sit and rotate. Orbit is the path he takes around the gay bar looking for the door, while he rotates.

What your describing is generally called "eclipse season" ... the Moon's orbit is a bit skew to Earth's orbit ... to she'll pass either above or below the Sun at New or Full Moon ... except when she doesn't ...

Very often, we do get a solar eclipse and lunar eclipse two weeks apart ... more rarely a third event two weeks further ... and since we're getting these eclipses here in mid-October, like clockwork, next eclipse season is April of 2024 ...

I'll stop here ... but for any math geeks out there, eclipses are great fun to calculate, nothing more advanced than ellipse geometry and lots and lots and lots of delicious algebra ... [quivers] ... better than rotating axes ... and the only thing saving you is the Earth's orbit doesn't have nodes ...

Easy Peasy ...
