‘It was just fabulous, just beautiful’: Stunning images from the solar eclipse

[Rolex]

If you missed the full lunar eclipse Tuesday morning, you’ll have another chance this fall, and once again next April, and — if you haven’t had your fill — another six months after that.

Total lunar eclipses, in which the moon moves through the Earth’s shadow, aren’t rare; the last one visible in this area was a little more than three years ago. But .

Eclipses occurring in four consecutive six-month periods are known as a tetrad. They are a special treat when all four will be fully visible in this area, said Mary Urquhart, head of the department of science and math education at the University of Texas at Dallas.

And Tuesday morning’s “blood moon” was a particularly good one.
“All of the eclipses in this tetrad will be visible within the United States, but Texas is very well-positioned,” she said. “It will be high in the sky, away from lights, and it will not be too close to sunrise or sunset, when the moon begins to fade out.”

The other three total lunar eclipses in the current tetrad will occur on Oct. 8; April 4, 2015; and Sept. 28, 2015.

Saturn 'photobombs' moon

Stargazers were treated on Monday to what some astronomers took to calling a planetary "photobomb": an eclipse of Saturn by the moon.
The astrological event, visible in the Eastern Hemisphere, occurred when the rings of Saturn disappeared behind the moon and reappeared on the other side — peeking over the moon's shoulder in "photobomb" fashion.

"It's a cool observational event," Bruce Betts, director of Science and Technology at the Planetary Society, told ABC News. "The naked eye could see the rings of Saturn, and could see it disappear behind the moon and reappear on the other side."

Moon to turn Blood Red again.

Moon to turn Blood Red again.

Skywatchers across much of the world will have the chance to see the moon glowing with an eerie red pallor during a pre-Halloween total lunar eclipse next week.

The "blood moon" total lunar eclipse will rise during the full moon of Oct. 8 just before sunrise in North America, but red might not be the only color people see during the total eclipse. Weather permitting, it's possible that some sharp-eyed observers might be able to see some blue in the moon's glow. The event will be the second of four consecutive total lunar eclipses in 2014 and 2015, according to NASA officials.

On the East Coast of the United States, totality starts at 6:25 a.m. EDT (1025 GMT), but stargazers on the West Coast of the United States will have an even better chance of seeing the rusty glow of the moon during totality. The eclipse will occur between 3:25 a.m. PDT and 4:24 a.m. PDT Wednesday. Observers in Australia and countries along the Pacific Ocean will also have the chance to see the eclipse.

‘It was just fabulous, just beautiful’: Stunning images from the solar eclipse

LONGYEARBYEN, Norway — Sky-gazers in the Arctic were treated to a perfect view of a total solar eclipse Friday as the moon completely blocked out the sun in a clear sky, casting a shadow over Norway’s remote archipelago of Svalbard.

People shouted, cheered and applauded as Longyearbyen, the main town in Svalbard, plunged into darkness. The skies were clear, offering a full view of the sun’s corona — a faint ring of rays surrounding the moon — that is only visible during a total solar eclipse.

A few hundred people had gathered on a flat frozen valley overlooking the mountains, and people shouted and yelled as the sudden darkness came.

A group of people opened bottles of champagne, saying it was in keeping with a total solar eclipse tradition.
