  • Solar Eclipse

    From Flavio Bessa@4:801/188 to All on Wed Apr 10 14:50:29 2024
    Hello,

    We had recently a solar eclipse happening, most at the US.

    I have seen several pictures, and it looked pretty cool. Did anyone here followed up this phenomenon?

    Regards,
    Flavio

    There was a partial (crescent at maximum) at my location along
    the path. Built a pinhole viewer, and took some pictures with
    my smartphone. I'll show you pics via Telegram.

    Nice! Looking forward to it, here in Southern Hemisphere it's been a while without a total solar eclipse...

    Looks like the next total eclipse is 2048 Dec 5 crossing your
    continent in the south, and 2059 May 11 crossing your continent
    in the north.

    Well, it's still a while, though. Let's hope it crosses paths with me here at Rio de Janeiro :)
