Daniel Fischer<p>50 years ago today, at 16:09 UTC on 17 July 1975, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project culminated in the first docking of the spacecraft - but afterwards an interesting experiment took place: after they separated again Apollo (the final one; no number) occulted the Sun from the point of view of Soyuz 19. Images obtained show mostly outgassing from Apollo forward-scattering light from the hidden Sun but allegedly there is also some outer corona in the images of which <a href="https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2010/04/Artificial_eclipse_produced_by_US_Apollo_spacecraft" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/</span><span class="invisible">2010/04/Artificial_eclipse_produced_by_US_Apollo_spacecraft</span></a> shows one with a negative caption.

grobi<p>"Now it's time for me and I wish you a pleasant night and endless beautiful dreams. Thanks for the nice chat in between. Stay hopeful."</p><p>2025 March 30<br>A Partial Solar Eclipse over Iceland<br> * Image Credit &amp; Copyright: Wioleta Gorecka<br><a href="https://www.instagram.com/wiola.gorecka/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">instagram.com/wiola.gorecka/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Explanation: <br>What if the Sun and Moon rose together? That happened yesterday over some northern parts of planet Earth as a partial solar eclipse occurred shortly after sunrise. Regions that experienced the Moon blocking part of the Sun included northeastern parts of North America and northwestern parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The featured image was captured yesterday over the Grábrók volcanic crater in Iceland where much of the Sun became momentarily hidden behind the Moon. The image was taken through a cloudy sky but so well planned that the photographer's friend appeared to be pulling the Sun out from behind the Moon. No part of the Earth experienced a total solar eclipse this time. In the distant past, some of humanity was so surprised when an eclipse occurred that ongoing battles suddenly stopped. Today, eclipses are not a surprise and are predicted with an accuracy of seconds. <br><a href="https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/mar-29-2025-eclipse/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">science.nasa.gov/eclipses/futu</span><span class="invisible">re-eclipses/mar-29-2025-eclipse/</span></a><br><a href="https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/types/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">science.nasa.gov/eclipses/type</span><span class="invisible">s/</span></a><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_of_Thales" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_</span><span class="invisible">of_Thales</span></a><br><a href="https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap240310.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap240310.ht</span><span class="invisible">ml</span></a><br><a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/accuracy.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">timeanddate.com/eclipse/accura</span><span class="invisible">cy.html</span></a><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxIPyR6-bko" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=ZxIPyR6-bk</span><span class="invisible">o</span></a></p><p><a href="https://science.nasa.gov/earth/facts/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">science.nasa.gov/earth/facts/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250330.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250330.ht</span><span class="invisible">ml</span></a></p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>space</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/earth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>earth</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/sun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sun</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/moon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moon</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/eclipse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eclipse</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/astrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astrophotography</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/iceland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iceland</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/NASA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NASA</span></a></p>

Gustav<p>I tried to install plugins in Eclipse but failed, at first. I installed Eclipse via App Center but then it ends up in a snap-folder and then i guess you can't install plugins because of write permissions. I could install plugins if running Eclipse as sudo. I reinstalled Eclipse manually without sudo rights using the guide below and now installing the plugins works. I might be wrong regarding why, but at least it works.<br><a href="https://mas.to/tags/ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ubuntu</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/eclipse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eclipse</span></a><br><a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/695382/how-to-install-eclipse-using-its-installer" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">askubuntu.com/questions/695382</span><span class="invisible">/how-to-install-eclipse-using-its-installer</span></a></p>

I find that little day-to-day things can be life changing; a brief chat with someone can be a thing you obsess about for years. A random Tuesday observation can stick with you for a lifetime.</p><p>But in a more monumental way, going to Montreal, just a couple of hours away, for the Eclipse last year, and seeing it in a park with a few hundred ppl was truly a life-changing experience.</p>
Astro Hawk (Ian Kluft) ✅🚀🛰️<p>One year ago... <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a> is what you get. Forecasted storms were late, cleared just enough just in time to see <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/SolarEclipse2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarEclipse2024</span></a> totality in Mesquite TX. Since cumulus clouds grow with daytime solar heating, the partial eclipse leading up to totality apparently cooled the air enough to inhibit them. Not everyone was as lucky that day. Spring is unpredictable - actual cloud cover along the path of totality differed from average expectations. <a href="https://spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112237121736018901" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112237</span><span class="invisible">121736018901</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/eclipse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eclipse</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>travel</span></a></p>
Astro Hawk (Ian Kluft) ✅🚀🛰️<p>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. <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/eclipse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eclipse</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>travel</span></a></p>
Astro Hawk (Ian Kluft) ✅🚀🛰️<p>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 &amp; 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. <a href="https://spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112232761322006141" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112232</span><span class="invisible">761322006141</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/spacegeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spacegeek</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/eclipse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eclipse</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>travel</span></a></p>
Astro Hawk (Ian Kluft) ✅🚀🛰️<p>One year ago was the day before the April 8, 2024 Total <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/SolarEclipse2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarEclipse2024</span></a>. 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. <a href="https://spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112231193378607141" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112231</span><span class="invisible">193378607141</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/spacegeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spacegeek</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/eclipse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eclipse</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>travel</span></a></p>
