A Double Sunrise from a Partial #Eclipse

The Sun appeared to rise twice in Quebec during a partial eclipse, with the #Moon obscuring parts of it. A video captures this rare event over the St. Lawrence River, showing 'double sunrise' and 'horns' as the eclipsed Sun emerges. The phenomenon lasted under two minutes.

Parker: The Solar System from Near the Sun

NASA's Parker Solar Probe captured a time-lapse from inside #Mercury's orbit, showing coronal streamers, a Coronal Mass Ejection, and #planets like Mercury and #Venus. Between #Earth and #Mars, #Comet Tempel 1 appears. The video also shows high-energy solar particles. This data helps us understand space weather impacts on Earth.

A Partial Solar Eclipse over Iceland

Explanation:
What if the Sun and Moon rose together? That happened yesterday over some northern parts of planet Earth as a partial solar eclipse occurred shortly after sunrise. Regions that experienced the Moon blocking part of the Sun included northeastern parts of North America and northwestern parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The featured image was captured yesterday over the Grábrók volcanic crater in Iceland where much of the Sun became momentarily hidden behind the Moon. The image was taken through a cloudy sky but so well planned that the photographer's friend appeared to be pulling the Sun out from behind the Moon. No part of the Earth experienced a total solar eclipse this time. In the distant past, some of humanity was so surprised when an eclipse occurred that ongoing battles suddenly stopped. Today, eclipses are not a surprise and are predicted with an accuracy of seconds.

Cute #eclipse data on @kate 's grid.iamkate.com/ - the yellow is the *estimated* solar generation in the UK (It's not actually metered directly) and you can see the dip around the eclipse - but you can also see the blip in the gas (orange) generation to compensate which is definitely real; curiously it seems like there's a slight flat in the wind generation there - is that real due to heat or is it just noise?
