The only genuine image of the 2026 annular #SolarEclipse I've seen so far - and at an extremely short wavelength of only 17 nanometers, from the Proba 2 satellite: proba2.sidc.be/Eclipse17Februa (which sees the solar corona in emission, so the Sun doesn't have a sharply defined edge).

An animation of the antumbra from space during yesterday's #SolarEclipse: scicomm.xyz/@AstroDave/1160871 - see also facebook.com/watch/?v=88146666 and bsky.app/profile/youstorm.bsky for animations from another position.

The #SolarEclipse today from space: mastodon.social/@PlanetariumBo - images of the ring from the ground aren't in yet; I've heard that Mirny was clouded out but that they wanted to get someting at Concordia.

The end of the #SolarEclipse for #ArtemisII with probably some K #corona streamers becoming visible against the diffuse F corona: images.nasa.gov/details/art002 - more processing (like with a traditional corona image from a TSE on Earth) will be required.

And here the crappy external camera with the low data rate actually delivered: the #ZodiacalLight pyramid at the beginning of the #SolarEclipse for #ArtemisII - it stayed visible in the live feed for 10 minutes! Contrary to the NASA commentary this was not the first time such an observation had been made by humans in the vicinity of the Moon - the Apollo 11 crew made it on 19 July 1969: facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/p -> skyweek.wordpress.com/2024/07/
