The Solar Eclipse Analemma Project
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2503/HunterWells_submission3-3labelled1024.jpg
Recorded from 2024 March 10, to 2025 March 1, this composited series of images reveals a pattern in the seasonal drift of the Sun's daily motion through planet Earth's sky. Known to some as an analemma, the figure-eight curve was captured in exposures taken on the indicated dates only at 18:38 UTC from the exact same location south of Stephenville, Texas. The Sun's position on the 2024 solstice dates of June 20 and December 21 would be at the top and bottom of the curve and correspond to the astronomical beginning of summer and winter in the north. Points that lie along the curve half-way between the solstices would mark the equinoxes. The 2024 equinox on September 22, and in 2025 the equinox on March 20 (today) are the start of northern fall and spring. And since one of the exposures was made on 2024 April 8 from the Stephenville location at 18:38:40 UTC, this analemma project also reveals the solar corona in planet Earth's sky during a total solar eclipse.

"Dolphins surround space capsule after its return to Earth in magical moment" by @GlobalNews - Drone video shows curious dolphins swimming around #SpaceX #CrewDragon Freedom after splashdown. Since #Starliner test pilot astronauts Wilmore & Williams retired from the US Navy each at the rank of Captain (equiv of Colonel in Army/Air Force ranks), it seems fitting about dolphins showing up as the beginning of their welcome party. https://globalnews.ca/news/11088250/dolphins-nasa-space-capsule-return-to-earth/ #NASA #Crew9 #space

Blue Ghost's Diamond Ring
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2503/eclipse-shot-from-blue-ghost-crop1024.jpg
On March 14 the Full Moon slid through Earth's dark umbral shadow and denizens of planet Earth were treated to a total lunar eclipse. Of course, from the Moon's near side that same astronomical syzygy was seen as a solar eclipse. Operating in the Mare Crisium on the lunar surface, the Blue Ghost lander captured this video frame of Earth in silhouette around 3:30am CDT, just as the Sun was emerging from behind the terrestrial disk. From Blue Ghost's lunar perspective the beautiful diamond ring effect, familiar to earthbound solar eclipse watchers, is striking. Since Earth appears about four times the apparent size of the Sun from the lunar surface the inner solar corona, the atmosphere of the Sun most easily seen from Earth during a total solar eclipse, is hidden from view. Still, scattering in Earth's dense atmosphere creates the glowing band of sunlight embracing our fair planet.

We now can begin the difficult transition from calling the Boeing astronauts who stayed on the station from being "stranded in space" to being "stranded in the USA."

As #Starliner test pilot astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams return home to Houston after #Crew9 splashdown, they'll get a lot of attention. Hopefully also plenty of private time with their families. Space geeks should watch for news in upcoming months: all test pilots on first flight of a new spacecraft have eventually been admitted to the Astronaut Hall of Fame. With their mission completed, this big feather in their caps is probably coming. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Astronaut_Hall_of_Fame #NASA #space

They're finally back! Two astronauts who were on an eight-day mission ended up spending nine months in space.

Elon Musk’s Starlink has donated satellite internet service to the White House. Questions?
Aren’t hardened land based better?
Ya think that’s is secure? What’s the plan if a satellite fails or is taken out by space debris or hostile country?
Ya think that’s a conflict of interest?
