Cloud Atlas
My best shot of Saturday's #eclipse. From here onwards the clouds rolled in even more and took away my view completely.
<sigh>
This was at 10:15am as the obscuration was beginning, so the moon is only a small curve on the right.

Éclipse solaire partielle au-dessus de l’Islande - Astronomy Picture of the Day - 30/03/2025
L’image présentée a été prise hier au-dessus du cratère volcanique de Grábrók en Islande, où une grande partie du Soleil s’est momentanément cachée derrière la Lune. L’image a été prise à travers un ciel nuageux mais si bien planifiée que l’ami du photographe semble tirer le Soleil...

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 https://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?
Managed to get a few good photos of the partial solar eclipse between the clouds. #solareclipse #eclipse
Solar eclipse from Wedemark north of Hanover, Germany, at the maximum of the eclipse (12:16 CET) with the Moon covering 19.5% of the Sun.
Photo taken with f=600 mm on a Canon EOS 6D with Baader Planetarium solar filter film. Cropped image, edited with RawTherapee.
Petite série de photos de l'éclipse partielle ce midi ! Et merci au nuage qui m'a permise d'en prendre une sans filtre.

#Eclipse is now trending across Mastodon
#Sonnenfinsternis is now trending across Mastodon
Das ist ein #Zeitraffer der heutigen partiellen #Sonnenfinsternis. Leider zogen immer wieder Wolken durch und haben den Blick getrübt.
Ce midi c'était astronomie Mac Gyver avec un carton, une aiguille et une feuille de papier.
C'est pas incroyable mais j'ai quand même réussi à voir l'#eclipse partielle pendant une ou deux éclaircies.

Eclipsed.
I was not planning to take a photo of the eclipse, but as it was passing by, I remembered that I had bought a new ND filter (to try long exposure photos). So I gave it a go anyway, and the right cloud came along as well.
