In the final talk of the morning sessions of the #SolarEclipse Conference Thoby Dittrich talked about the Modern Eddington Experiment (the website https://moderneddingtonexperiment.org is under heavy construction): the best observing result of gravitational deflection of starlight by the Sun in the optical during solar eclipses is still Brun's from 2017 - https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.00343 - while others have tried with a vengeance since. The goal remains to observe the significant deflection of star positions between 1 and 2 solar radii from the center of the Sun: this is known as the 'forbidden zone' because the corona can be very bright here and only bright stars can be measured reliably - but those in turn are rare. It turns out that the star fields around the totally eclipsed Sun in 2027 and 2028 will be unusually rich in good candidates so there is (or should be) considerable interest in the physics didactics community to make use of these eclipses in southern Spain / northern Africa and Australia, respectively. 4/n

Very interesting talks at the #SolarEclipse Conference - https://www.vvs.be/subsite/sec-2025/programme - in Belgium I am attending online: here is the key result by Luca Quaglia who had reported his work in great detail in the papers https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4365/ac1279 (2021), https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2022_2.pdf#page=3 (2022) and https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2024_4.pdf#page=3 (2024) already. There seems to be NO way by now to escape the conclusion the the solar - i.e. photospheric - diameter used by many in the past (and various eclipse map calculations sites still today) is too small. So everyone should use Quaglia's free precision tools at https://www.besselianelements.com instead to get the real length of totality at one's observing spot. And when you are observing at the edges of the totality zone the tools will tell you where the actual border is: traditional maps can the off by some margin! 1/n
