Eclipse Pair
Image Credit & Copyright: Josh Dury

Eclipses tend to come in pairs. Twice a year, during an eclipse season that lasts about 34 days, Sun, Moon, and Earth can nearly align. Then the full and new phases of the Moon separated by just over 14 days create a lunar and a solar eclipse. But only rarely is the alignment at both new moon and full moon phases during a single eclipse season close enough to produce a pair with both total (or a total and an annular) lunar and solar eclipses. More often, partial eclipses are part of any eclipse season. In fact, the last eclipse season of 2024 produced this fortnight-separated eclipse pair: a partial lunar eclipse on 18 September and an annular solar eclipse on 2 October. The time-lapse composite images were captured from Somerset, UK (left) and Rapa Nui planet Earth. The 2025 eclipse seasons will see a total lunar eclipse on 14 March paired with a partial solar eclipse on 29 March, and a total lunar eclipse on 8 September followed by a partial solar eclipse on 21 September.

Measuring the distance to the James Webb Space Telescope!
Music: Grand Orrery by Stellardrone
Filmed with an 11" Celestron Nexstar and SBIG ST-2000XCM as well as T5 on the iTelescope.net network.

For the time lapse segments, the raw FITS files were automatically processed and JWST was automatically labeled by querying the JPL Horizons API for the predicted coordinates given the observatory location and time stamp.

Flat Earth: Debunked
These are the results of a group project which took place during the September Equinox 2017. 23 participants in 9 different countries conducted a simple scientific experiment similar to that of Eratosthenes over 2000 years ago.

The test is simple. Using the Latitude of each participant (as Longitude will be either 180° or 0°) The sun's elevation angle was measured during Solar Noon. These angles were then placed across both a Flat Plane and a Sphere to see which model the angles correspond to.

Do I have to tell you the results?

Additionally, ALL ANGLES concurred with the angles displayed on:
timeanddate.com
suncalc.org
Stellarium

I would like to personally thank ALL who participated..

Oh, and the complete lack of participation by Flat Earthers is a supplemental proof that Flat Earthers are NOT seeking Truth.. As they don't seem to be looking for it..
