Next year the #Perseids meteor shower will coincide with the day of the New Moon. There will be a total #SolarEclipse in Iceland and Spain on August 12, 2026. I'm intrigued if it might be possible to see Perseids meteors during eclipse totality. However, solar eclipse totality only darkens to twilight, which is not ideal for meteor watching. It would also need some luck to happen at all. eclipsophile.com/tse2026/ #astronomy #SolarEclipse2026

Alaska Airlines choices of new routes for the 787 Dreamliners they got with the Hawaiian Airlines acquisition seems to concur with what they said that they've been asking customers what they want. Initially Pacific Ocean routes for Hawaiian are to Asia. Then Alaska's transatlantic route announcements to Rome, then London & Reykjavik.
Why Reykjavik? My hunch is the August 2026 total #SolarEclipse in Iceland may have played a part in that choice. #aviation #travel #avgeek #astronomy #Eclipse2026

"Éclipse d'orage" cette nuit sur une Lyon chargée à bloc d'humidité et de chaleur non-dissipée...
Excellent moment donc (si si) pour revenir aux éclipses solaires et lunaires adoptées et portées par leurs nouvelles propriétaires !
Les regards sont à la hauteur de l'image : rêveur et lointain d'une part, protégé des éclats de lumière brutaux de la couronne solaire de l'autre. Merci à vous deux ❤️

Two European satellites mimic a total solar eclipse as scientists aim to study its corona.

The satellites have created the first artificial solar eclipse by flying in precise formation, providing hours of on-demand totality for scientists.

Dubbed Proba-3, the €181 million mission has generated 10 successful solar eclipses so far.

ESA released the eclipse pictures at the Paris Air Show on Monday.
