Latest posts tagged with #TotalSolarEclipse on Bluesky
Where will you be on 12th August this year? I plan to be in the Spanish city of Zaragoza. Why, because shortly before sunset on that day, the shadow of the Moon will bring the spectacle of a Total Solar eclipse.

The total solar eclipse photographed in Indiana, April 8, 2024. This image was taken during totality. The moon completely covers the sun’s disk. Between the 3:00 and 6:00 position, there are sever solar prominences visible. The image was taken with a Nikon D810 with the 200-500 zoom lens set at 500 mm. f8, 1/1000 sec, ISO 100, 4 stops underexposed.

It looks like we responded at almost the same time.
I posted a genuine composite photo of a #TotalSolarEclipse alongside a fake AI generated image so the difference between them can easily be seen. If a person doesn't know what "the real thing" looks like, #AIslop images can fool them.
All real:
Detailed View of a Solar Eclipse Corona Image Credit & Copyright: Phil Hart Explanation: Only in the fleeting darkness of a total solar eclipse is the light of the solar corona easily visible. Normally overwhelmed by the bright solar disk, the expansive corona, the sun's outer atmosphere, is an alluring sight. But the subtle details and extreme ranges in the corona's brightness, although discernible to the eye, are notoriously difficult to photograph. Pictured here, however, using multiple images and digital processing, is a detailed image of the Sun's corona taken during the April 20, 2023 total solar eclipse from Exmouth, Australia. Clearly visible are intricate layers and glowing caustics of an ever changing mixture of hot gas and magnetic fields. Bright looping prominences appear pink just around the Sun's limb.

Fake AI generated image of a total solar eclipse captioned: Extremely detailed HDR image of recent Total Solar Eclipse 2024 The details of the Sun's corona in this AI generated image are not realistic.
It can be difficult to tell when an image is generated by #ArtificialIntelligence.
Many #AIimages contain fairly obvious errors in them, but some do not.
Like you asked, without knowing what a genuine human created #HDRimage of a #TotalSolarEclipse looks like, how can you know the difference?
An authentic photo of an annular eclipse
A satellite photo of the February 17th, 2026, annular eclipse that includes some details of the Sun's inner corona that are not visible to the unaided human eye or most cameras.
I see you deleted the post that had the AI BS image of a #TotalSolarEclipse in it & was pretending to be an image of the recent #AnnularEclipse. It did mimic High Dynamic Range photography of a total solar eclipse, but the details of the corona were badly flawed.
There's a lot of #AIslop out there.
FYI There's a "flower" petroglyph at Lake Winnemucca in Nevada that's been dated to between 10-14 millennia old.
So it's 2-6 millennia older than these 8 millennia old flowers.
That "flower" #petroglyph may depict a #TotalSolarEclipse.

When I saw this #Zapotec owl iconography I understood it *could* be inspired by the bird-like pattern that's displayed in the Sun's corona during some #TotalSolarEclipses.

The Greek myth of Zeus having his way with Leda in the form of a swan, & some similar myths from other ancient cultures, were probably inspired by this white "bird" that is seen while the Sun & Moon are "making love" during a #TotalSolarEclipse.
This figurine may represent a similar #EclipseMyth.

You might find my theory that the #NazcaLines, especially the biomorph geoglyphs, & even more especially the bird #geoglyphs, are a response to observations of the #TotalSolarEclipse "eye of God" above the #Nazca pampa quite plausible.

The next total solar eclipse will be visible on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 over the northern Atlantic Ocean and Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, northern Spain and northeastern Portugal. www.zazzle.com/collections/... #totalsolareclipse #astronomy

We wanted te be ready for the total solar eclipse of August 12, 2026 (and the one on August 2, 2027). August is normally clear skyes weather. It’ll be quite the spectacle! 😎🌞

During a #TotalSolarEclipse, the Sun is progressively covered by the Moon until, when it's totally hidden behind the Moon during #totality, a black disk is seen where the Sun should be. This black "hole in the sky" is surrounded by the Sun's corona & looks like an "eye in the sky" aka "eye of God".
A composite photo of the 1991 total solar eclipse created by Miloslav Druckmueller shows the bird-like pattern in the Sun's corona that I first saw in French astronomer Serge Koutchmy's photo of the same eclipse that was published in the May 1992 issue of National Geographic magazine. When I first saw Serge Koutchmy's photo immediately intuited that this coronal "Sun Bird" was probably the original source of inspiration for the Phoenix myth.
You're welcome Fiona.

#Eclipsology
A #TotalSolarEclipse is the apparent "death" & "rebirth" of the Sun.
Most #TotalSolarEclipses look like a disembodied pupil & iris of an "eye of God" staring down from the sky.
Some total solar eclipses display a bird-like pattern in the corona.

It depends upon what the meaning of the word "record" is. . .
That 2.5 millennia old written record of a #TotalSolarEclipse is not as old as other records, such as the 5+ millennia old #RayedSunSymbols carved into Dowth's "Stone of the Seven Suns".

There's a common myth that the Sun & Moon are "making love" during #SolarEclipses.
A white bird-like pattern is displayed in the Sun's corona during some #TotalSolarEclipses.
Ancient people could, & I believe did, synthesize these 2 mythical perceptions of a #TotalSolarEclipse.
#SolarEclipseMyths
Behold Zeus taking the form of a swan to have his way with Leda, or indeed the goddess Nemesis who took the form of a goose to avoid being ravished by Zeus.
This 12 millennia old #Natufian figurine *could* depict a #SolarEclipseMyth about the Sun making love to the Moon during a #TotalSolarEclipse.
The black & white scientific astronomical drawing of the 1851 total solar eclipse on the left is very similar to one of the rayed Sun symbol petroglyphs carved into Dowth's 'Stone of the Seven Suns' on the right.
My favorite is #Dowth because its 'Stone of the Seven Suns', which might be more accurately (albeit less poetically) called 'The Stone of the Seven Moons Occulting The Sun During A Total Solar Eclipse', displays 5+ millennia old depictions of a #TotalSolarEclipse.

The beautiful #Corona during #Totality of the #TotalSolarEclipse on 21st August 2017. This is an HDR merge of 4 different exposures, taken hand-held,with a #Canon1100D with 300mm zoom lens. They were taken from #GlendoStatePark Wyoming USA #Eclipse2017
On this day in 2017 we were in #GlendoStatePark, Wyoming for the #TotalSolarEclipse. It was such an incredible experience 🥰 Here are the 2 diamond rings either side of #totality. #Canon1100D 300mm lens, hand-held! #SolarEclipse2017
The #NazcaLines, especially the pictorial #geoglyphs, were intended to be viewed from high in the sky.
Ancient people believed that the Sun & Moon were #SkyGods, but there's more to it.
A #TotalSolarEclipse looks like an "eye in the sky". . .

A stunning composite image of the July 11, 2023 total solar eclipse over Easter Island. The image showcases the Sun's corona in exquisite detail, revealing subtle shades and shimmering features. Solar prominences are visible extending from the sun's edge, and the dimly lit surface of the New Moon is also visible due to Earthshine.
