  • What can eclipse chasers expect to see when the Moon aligns with the Sun for a total solar eclipse? Astronomer Jackie Faherty explains what you’ll see, why it happens, and whether Earth is the only planet that encounters this unforgettable cosmic event.
    #Eclipse2024 #TotalSolarEclipse #GreatAmericanEclipse
    On April 8, 2024, a wide stretch of the U.S. will be in the path of totality, similarly to the Great American Eclipse of 2017. People in Texas, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Vermont and Maine will fall in the moon’s shadow. Are you planning to be there? Get an astrophysicist’s expert tips on how to find the optimal viewing spot and what you should know about safely viewing a solar eclipse.

    I've seen several of these over the years from different locations on Earth, and *every one one of them* was the nearest this atheist could come to having a religious experience, the difference being that these eclipses are *real* and unforgettable - so if at all possible, make the effort to witness at least one of these magnificent shows!

    In 2017 it was about 80% when it went over my house and it was awesome. In 2023 it was 100% when it went over but it wasn't awesome at all because it was totally overcast that day.

    Wow! I love her hair. It's awesome. I'm a little bit jealous.

    Savorinen and greetings to all science journalists around the Earth❤️
    On April 8, 2024, Mexicans and Texans may have a chance to make history and scientifically prove the current atomic model wrong.
    The so-called Allais Effect may be a real phenomenon, but in such a way that it does not always occur during a solar eclipse.
    It would be about how close to the center of the Earth the line between the center of the Sun and the center of the Moon intersects the center of the Earth.
    That is, how close the alignment of the Sun, the Moon and the Moon’s shadow passes the center of the Earth.
    The closer, the stronger the phenomenon.
    If so, scientific experiments should always be done when a total solar eclipse occurs at noon and near the equator.
    The April 8 solar eclipse is pretty much exactly at noon in Mexico, I believe, and the area is much closer to the equator than the North Pole.
    Ok, there is a lot of pressure in the center of the Earth.
    I assume that massive and dense particles originating from the center of the Earth are pushed out of the Earth all the time, and on April 8th they are pushed through the area shadowed by the Moon directly towards the Moon and the Sun.
    They meet particles corresponding to the countersphere, which originate from the Sun and the Moon.
    During straight alignment, these particles have time to push through the corresponding particles again and again.
    During the pushing through of each opposing particle, there is a strong interaction and thus the energy in the particles is dispersed over a larger area and the probability of encountering the next one increases, etc.
    Pushing through the moon also activates these particles. Inside the moon, this small-scale energy moves more densely and inside these particles, etc.
    Pushing towards the moon, these particles already have time to activate more than normal, because they encounter particles that have already penetrated the moon and activated inside the moon.
    Physicists are already planning a new particle accelerator at Cern. Its price is estimated at around 20 billion euros.
    On April 8, anyone can do scientific experiments very cheaply.
    For example, local tennis clubs could use devices that launch tennis balls.
    First, the device is adjusted to fly the balls as far and accurately as possible.
    So it’s not necessarily worth trying to make the balls fly just as far as possible, if you can’t make the balls fly quite precisely the same distance, you know.
    Ok, when we find out how far the balls fly with a certain power on average normally, we wait for the Solar eclipse and when the Moon’s shadow starts to reach the area, we start sending tennis balls into the air and monitor how far the balls fly.
    Perhaps a surprise will be experienced during the exam.
    You should fly the balls in at least two different directions. From north to south and from south to north.
    The more distinct groups, the better.
    Everyone should also think about some other scientific experiments that can be done in connection with the so-called to gravitation.
    Traditionally, experiments have been done with pendulums and gravity measuring devices. You should also use them.
    If someone has ready these small rockets that don’t aim for orbit, but only test how high you can get, then maybe during the solar eclipse it would be interesting to try if you can maybe even get much higher than you could assume based on the calculation in advance.
    Ps. If the solar eclipse occurs in June, then I assume that it is worth doing these experiments even if the eclipse is closer to one of the polar regions than the equator and even if it is late evening or early morning.
    This is because then the Earth is in the area between the Sun and the supermassive object in the center of the galaxy.
    Perhaps from the center of the galaxy there is also a kind of matter / energy that physicists do not yet understand.
    At least that’s what I assume.
    That is, these supermassive objects in the centers of galaxies may emit dark matter as separate condensations that are much denser than the separate condensations in the nuclei of the atoms of the observable matter.
    The denser, the slower the internal motion / time and the less these dark matter particles would interact with observable matter.
    In June, when the Earth is in the area between the Sun and the center of the galaxy, these dark matter particles inside the Earth would meet the energy from the Sun in the opposite sphere and thus their internal movement / time would speed up and the interaction with the Earth’s matter would intensify.
    I assume that the Earth gets new matter in its center in June when these dark matter particles collide in the center of the Earth with the nuclei of the Earth’s atoms.
    Could the Earth even get new water molecules in its center?
    That is, would new solid matter, but also new water and gas molecules, be born in the center of the Earth?
    If so, perhaps the researchers should observe that more water and gas molecules escape from the Earth than estimated.
    Greetings to all Mexicans and Texans. Also for all those who have the opportunity to participate in scientific experiments on April 8.
    April 8, 2024 may be a very significant day for humanity, but it may not be so without you🙂
    ❤️

    The difference between the sun and the moon that gives us a solar eclipse is by design I believe!

      With science, no need to "believe" how things came to be. That's why it exists. Plus they're not common. They come around every 18 months and not in the same place cause it's random. You never know where the path of totality will be... except through the beauty of scientific discovery. Otherwise, you'd be like those that came before us thinking your god is punishing your tribe so you gotta sacrifice your child so your harvests won't spoil 😅
