Eclipse echoes: Study reveals surprising avian vocal patterns during solar eclipse

#20jours20Souvenirs - Jour 13 - L'éclipse totale de soleil du 11 août 1999
Il y a quelques jours, j'avais évoqué quelques souvenirs d'enfance à propos d'observations astronomiques.
Il en est un autre qui restera gravé à tout jamais dans mes souvenirs car c'est une expérience quasi unique dans une vie.
1999, une année marquée par l'angoisse du bug de l'an 2000 (qui n'a finalement pas eu lieu!) mais aussi une grande année astronomique pour la Belgique et pour la Gaume : l'éclipse sera totale à 100% dans la région de Virton! Et le phénomène est exceptionnel car la précédente éclipse totale de soleil visible en Belgique datait de 1433 et la prochaine devrait être en 2142...
Inutile de dire que ce phénomène a attiré une foule importante amenés en partie par des trains spéciaux et il était évidemment impossible de manquer un tel spectacle!
J'avais des amis dont les parents habitaient Bertrix et j'arrivai le jour d'avant afin que le matin du 11, nous puissions nous rendre à Florenville où l'on allait observer l'éclipse.
L'éclipse a duré une grosse minute à 12 h 27. Et c'est là, le point culminant du phénomène et une ambiance inoubliable. La Lune occulte totalement le soleil et une pénombre se répand sur la campagne, les oiseaux s'arrêtent de chanter, un drôle de silence s'installe même dans la foule nombreuse. Et tout d'un coup, la température baisse de manière perceptible.
Je n'ai pas fait de photos à l'époque mais le souvenir est bien présent et en écrivant ces lignes, les sensations reviennent en mémoire!
A défaut de photos de l'éclipse, des photos de la fontaine de l'éclipse inaugurée en 2001 en face de l'église et à côté de l'hôtel de ville de Virton.
Pour aller plus loin :
I also posted a similar quote online for the 2017 total solar eclipse, which I watched from Madras, Oregon. For viewing a total solar eclipse, it's a big deal to reach the path of totality. From that point, it's mostly up to the weather. But the eclipse will come to you once you're there. #astronomy #eclipse #travel
Marcia quoted me in her article, "I have arrived in the path of totality!" After the interview, we chatted about where we met before. I remembered her from 10 years earlier in 2014 at NASA's CRS-3 launch (SpaceX Falcon 9 & Cargo Dragon to ISS) where I had a "NASA Social" one-time social media pass and she was one of the pro media covering it. NASA TV showed us at adjacent seats asking questions in the post-launch news conference. https://spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112232761322006141 #astronomy #spacegeek #eclipse #travel
One year ago was the day before the April 8, 2024 Total #SolarEclipse2024. I got to Mesquite, Texas (eastern Dallas metro) around mid-day to try to arrive ahead of the crush of traffic as everyone came from everywhere to the path of totality. Even before I found a place to get lunch, I met a news crew preparing to cover the next day's festivities in downtown. I was interviewed by AP aerospace reporter Marcia Dunn. https://spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112231193378607141 #astronomy #spacegeek #eclipse #travel
A year ago tomorrow, a friend and I travelled to the Miramichi to capture the eclipse. This CF-101 Voodoo at the former CFB Chatham provided foreground interest for this composite image. #photography #composite #eclipse #solareclipse #sun #sky #jetfighter #voodoo #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin
Retour en vidéo sur la participation de l'Observatoire au Festival Science Infuze la semaine dernière, avec la très belle observation de l' #éclipse partielle de Soleil.

The Gargoyles' #Eclipse
Gargoyles on Notre Dame in Paris silhouette against a cloudy sky with a New #Moon partially eclipsing the Sun. Captured on March 29, 2025, during the first eclipse season, this event preceded a total #lunar eclipse and will be followed by another in September.

A Double Sunrise from a Partial #Eclipse
The Sun appeared to rise twice in Quebec during a partial eclipse, with the #Moon obscuring parts of it. A video captures this rare event over the St. Lawrence River, showing 'double sunrise' and 'horns' as the eclipsed Sun emerges. The phenomenon lasted under two minutes.

Explanation:
Can the Sun appear to rise twice at the same time? This was just the case a few days ago from Les Escoumins, Quebec, Canada as our Solar System's bright central orb rose just as it was being partially eclipsed by the Moon. The featured video shows this unusual double-sunrise in real time and being reflected by the St. Lawrence River. Soon after the initial two spots of light appear over distant clouds, what appears to be bright horns become visible -- which are really just parts of the Sun not being eclipsed. Soon, the entire eclipsed Sun is visible above the horizon. In all, this broken sunrise took less than two minutes during a partial eclipse that lasted many times longer. Although the Moon circles the Earth once a month (moon-th), it does not always eclipse the Sun because its tilted orbit usually takes it above or below.

Looks like I got it running without errors from #Eclipse now. Two example frameworks, included into two example apps and clients. Server and client classes and resources both distributed correctly.
Still impressed by its beauty. Both optical as well as conceptual.
Noch zwei Fotos von der partiellen Sonnenfinsternis am Samstag auf Sylt.

Cloud Atlas
My best shot of Saturday's #eclipse. From here onwards the clouds rolled in even more and took away my view completely.
<sigh>
This was at 10:15am as the obscuration was beginning, so the moon is only a small curve on the right.

Parker: The Solar System from Near the Sun
NASA's Parker Solar Probe captured a time-lapse from inside #Mercury's orbit, showing coronal streamers, a Coronal Mass Ejection, and #planets like Mercury and #Venus. Between #Earth and #Mars, #Comet Tempel 1 appears. The video also shows high-energy solar particles. This data helps us understand space weather impacts on Earth.
