The mission, known as <keyword id="19026307" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="atmospheric-perturbations" source="Orion">Atmospheric Perturbations</keyword> around the Eclipse Path or APEP, is led by <keyword id="19026308" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="aroh-barjatya" source="Orion">Aroh Barjatya</keyword>, will study how the sudden drop in sunlight affects our upper atmosphere, the space agency has said. On October 14, people viewing the annular solar eclipse will experience the sun dimming to 10 per cent its normal brightness, leaving only a bright "ring of fire" of sunlight as the moon eclipses the sun. Some 50 miles up and beyond, the air itself becomes electric. Scientists call this atmospheric layer the ionosphere because it is where the UV component of sunlight can pry electrons away from atoms to form a sea of high-flying ions and electrons. The sun's constant energy keeps these mutually attracted particles separated throughout the day. But as the sun dips below the horizon, many recombine into neutral atoms for the night, only to part ways again at sunrise. During a solar eclipse, the sunlight vanishes and reappears over a small part of the landscape almost at once. In a flash, ionospheric temperature and density drop, then rise again, sending waves rippling through the ionosphere. "If you think of the ionosphere as a pond with some gentle ripples on it, the eclipse is like a motorboat that suddenly rips through the water," said <keyword id="40286" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="barjatya" source="Orion">Barjatya</keyword>, a professor of engineering physics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida. "It creates a wake immediately underneath and behind it, and then the water level momentarily goes up as it rushes back in." The APEP team plans to launch three rockets in succession -- one about 35 minutes before local peak eclipse, one during peak eclipse, and one 35 minutes after. They will fly just outside the path of annularity, where the moon passes directly in front of the sun. Each rocket will deploy four small scientific instruments that will measure changes in electric and magnetic fields, density, and temperature. If they are successful, these will be the first simultaneous measurements taken from multiple locations in the ionosphere during a solar eclipse. Barjatya chose sounding rockets to answer the team's science questions because they can pinpoint and measure specific regions of space with high fidelity. They can also measure changes that happen at different altitudes as the suborbital rocket ascends and falls back to Earth. The APEP rockets will take measurements between 70 to 325 kilometres) above the ground along their trajectory. In addition, a ground-based observation will collect ionospheric density and neutral wind measurements. A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Haystack Observatory in Westford, will run their radar to measure ionospheric perturbations farther away from the eclipse path. Finally, a team of students from Embry-Riddle will deploy high-altitude balloons (reaching 100,000 feet) every 20 minutes to measure weather changes as the eclipse passes by. The APEP rockets launched in New Mexico will be recovered and then relaunched from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, on April 8, 2024, when a total solar eclipse will cross the US from Texas to Maine.

Riding into the sun: Indian-origin NASA scientist to lead rocket mission into 2023 solar eclipse

The world is going to witness a rare astronomical event on Thursday - a <keyword id="1925950" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="hybrid-solar-eclipse" source="Orion">hybrid solar eclipse</keyword>. It takes place when a total eclipse and the annular solar eclipse occur at the same time. An eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. Here's everything you need to know about today's hybrid solar eclipse. 1. What is a hybrid solar eclipse? A hybrid solar eclipse is a rare type of eclipse that occurs only a few times per century. As per NASA, hybrid eclipses shift from annular to total due to our planet's curve. 2. How it is different from a total eclipse? A total eclipse occurs when the moon completely obscures the sun, whereas an annular eclipse occurs when the moon obscures the sun but appears smaller, leaving the outline of a solar ring and the rare hybrid eclipse takes place when both occur at the same time. 3. Where will it be visible? According to NASA, on April 20, skywatchers in Australia and parts of southeast Asia will be able to view a hybrid solar eclipse as it passes over the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Unfortunately, the hybrid solar eclipse will not be visible in India. 4. Time to Watch the solar eclipse? In Western Australia the eclipse will be visible from 10:29 pm to 10:35 pm EDT on April 19 (2:29 to 2:35 GMT, April 20), in East Timor from 11:19 pm to 11:22 pm EDT on April 19 (3:19 to 3:22 GMT, April 20) and in Indonesia from 11:23 pm to 11:58 pm EDT on April 19 (3:23 to 3:58 GMT, April 20). 5. When will the next solar eclipse be visible? The next Eclipse (Partial) will be visible in India on August 2, 2027 (not visible in Odisha) and the next annular solar eclipse will occur in 2031.

It spent four weeks at No. 1 on the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bonnie-tyler/">Billboard Hot 100</a> chart in 1983, the year it was released."When I first heard it, I thought, 'Oh my God, this song is amazing,'" Tyler told GMA."You know, I couldn't believe he was giving it to me," she said, referring to Steinman.In 2002, Steinman told the American magazine <a target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140313031549/http://www.playbill.com/news/article/72168-Rando-Steinman-Talk-About-Dance-of-the-Vampires-at-Press-Preview-Sept-18">Playbill</a> that he originally intended the song to be about vampires."But with 'Total Eclipse of the Heart,' I was trying to come up with a love song and I remembered I actually wrote that to be a vampire love song," Steinman said.In September 2023, the music video for "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcOxhH8N3Bo&amp;ab_channel=bonnietylerVEVO">Total Eclipse of the Heart</a>" reached one billion views on YouTube.

NASA map shows how, where, and when to see solar eclipses in the US in 2023 and 2024

<ul class="summary-list"><li>On Saturday a solar eclipse took place over the western US. </li><li>TikTokers shared the methods they used to capture the view and shared them online.</li></ul>Creators who used a variety of methods to catch a glimpse of the recent solar eclipse shared their results to TikTok.On Saturday, a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/october-solar-eclipse-annular-ring-of-fire-where-how-watch-2023-10?r=US&amp;IR=T">solar eclipse appeared over the western US</a>, and was projected to be visible to around 68 million people during the two-and-a-half-hour event, Insider previously reported.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/solar-eclipse-retinopathy-eye-damage-sun-2017-8?r=US&amp;IR=T">Looking directly at the eclipse </a>without protective glasses can damage your eyes. According to <a href="https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/safety">NASA</a>, "The only safe way to look directly at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun is through special-purpose solar filters."Some TikTokers attempted to catch a glimpse of the eclipse using their own methods.On October 15, a TikToker who goes by <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tanyafortenberry0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tanya Fortenberry</a>, who describes herself as an elementary science teacher in her bio, received 4.3 million views when she posted <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tanyafortenberry0/video/7289872369852714286" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a video</a> with the on-screen caption "Solar eclipse 2023" which showed a piece of white paper on the floor and a colander in her hand. She held the kitchen utensil up which cast a shadow on the paper, and zoomed in to show the round holes had turned into crescent shapes on the paper, which appeared to indicate the outline of the eclipse above. Over 990 commenters responded to say how cool the effect was, but admitted they didn't really understand how it was created.According to NASA, this technique basically creates a <a href="https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/learn/project/how-to-make-a-pinhole-camera/%E2%80%8B" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pinhole camera effect</a>, where the holes act "like a tiny camera lens," as light from the sun goes into the hole, becomes focused, and projects the shape onto the surface on the other side.<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bernadettegriego" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bernadette Griego</a> posted <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bernadettegriego/video/7289866262501461290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a video</a> that showed groupings of orange, crescent shapes on the sidewalk, which seemed to be created by the sun which was partially visible behind a tree. In the caption of the video, which received 690,000 views, they wrote it took place "in the middle of the eclipse" and included the hashtag <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/albuquerque" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#albuquerque</a> to indicate their location. This phenomenon was observed by various social media users, including the Boise National Weather Service, which <a href="https://twitter.com/NWSBoise/status/1713247347633983600" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> a video of similar shadows. The visual effect is down to the trees and bushes creating a pinhole effect much like the colander, scattering dozens of crescent-shaped projections across the ground, <a href="https://www.foxweather.com/earth-space/october" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox Weather reported</a>.One TikToker who goes by @remakuini documented a DIY approach, which they wrote in a caption that their husband learned from his grandmother. The technique goes against NASA's instructions, which advise against using "homemade filters or ordinary sunglasses, even very dark ones" to look directly at the sun, but the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@remakuini/video/7289866863146847531">video</a> went hugely viral, receiving over 1.9 million views.It showed a man scorching the top of a transparent pot lid with a candle flame to create a burn mark and appeared to use his cell phone camera to film the eclipse through the residue, where the crescent shape could be seen. This technique uses the newly formed layer of soot as a viewing filter, but it's not advisable if you're going to look through the glass directly. Dirk van Norren, a retired professor of ophthalmic physics at the University Medical Center Utrecht told <a href="https://cen.acs.org/articles/95/i33/Chemistry-explains-shouldnt-stare-solar-eclipse-without-protection.html">Chemical &amp; Engineering News</a> in 2017 that he did not recommend the method as the soot can be too easily and accidentally wiped away.A popular comment beneath the TikTok questioned the safety of this method, to which the original uploader responded that they just took a quick glimpse of it, and wrote it was better to use solar glasses. Various other <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@itsjanessaduh/video/7289860944451161387?q=solar%20eclipse%20glasses&amp;t=1697460622902" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTokers</a> appeared to use the correct lenses and posted videos as they filmed the perspective of the eclipse from them. <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tmazinke_/video/7289861021332688171">One</a> received 3.2 million views and over 4,600 comments, many of which wrote they had totally missed the eclipse due to cloudy weather or because they lacked the right viewing equipment, and thanked the TikToker for sharing their view with them instead.A solar eclipse takes place when the moon briefly blocks the Earth's view of the sun. In the case of a total solar eclipse it completely covers it from view, but the recent showing was an annular solar eclipse, which means the moon was in the distant part of its orbit and appeared slightly smaller, and created a "ring of fire" effect instead where some of the sun was still visible.The US is scheduled to get its next total eclipse in April 2024, which won't be seen again in the contiguous US until 2044, with another annular eclipse expected in 2046, Insider previously reported.<a href="https://www.insider.com/culture">For more stories like this, check out coverage from Insider's Digital Culture team here.</a>

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Photographer Macy Alex captured a proposal during the total solar eclipse on Monday. </li><li>She helped Alex Hoffpauir meticulously plan the surprise shoot in Lewisville, Texas.</li></ul>When Alex Hoffpauir's inquiry hit Macy Alex's inbox, she thought, "What did I get myself into?"Alex, 32, is a photographer based in Lewisville, Texas. After developing a love of the art as a teenager, she started a photography business as a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/side-hustles-gig-workers-economy-chatgpt-generative-ai-morgan-stanley-2023-9">side hustle</a> for her career in marketing in 2020. The business was so successful by May 2023 that she made it her <a target="_blank" href="https://www.macyalexphotography.com/">full-time job</a>, shooting everything from weddings to family portraits.She also does engagement shoots, and in March, Hoffpauir, <a target="_blank" href="https://alex-hoffpauir.com/about">a designer</a>, reached out to her about photographing his proposal to his girlfriend Austynn Harbison, a small-business owner who <a target="_blank" href="https://happydancesupply.com/">sells high-end pet treats</a>.Hoffpauir hoped to make his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fiance-dated-teens-reconnected-proposal-decade-later-2024-3">proposal</a> a surprise, complete with a hidden photographer. But the timing made Hoffpauir's proposal one-of-a-kind — he wanted to pop the question during the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/solar-eclipse-photos-totality-us-2024-4">solar eclipse</a> on Monday, as Lewisville was in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/eclipse-mass-weddings-photos-totality-2024-4">path of totality</a>.<div type="image" title="A couple embraces in front of a body of water." height="3000" width="2000" msid="109203196" hostid="261" sizebytes="209098"></div>Although she was a little nervous she wouldn't be able to capture the moment, Alex agreed to do the shoot, helping Hoffpauir plan his epic proposal.<h2>Getting the perfect shot</h2>When Hoffpauir reached out to Alex, he didn't have a concrete plan for where the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/expensive-bridesmaid-proposal-boxes-tiktok-2023-8">proposal</a> should take place, though he knew he didn't want to do it in a crowded place.Alex suggested he propose at Murrell Park."It's one of my favorite places to shoot because it's super simple, and they have these huge cliffs," Alex said of the park, which overlooks a lake. She also thought it would be ideal for the proposal because she could position the couple on a cliff and set up her camera on the plateau below them, allowing her to line up the shot perfectly.Hoffpauir loved the plan, so on the day of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/couple-winery-wedding-budget-breakdown-venue-flowers-decor-costs-2024-3">proposal</a>, Alex set up the shoot in advance of their arrival, marking the spot on the cliff she wanted the couple to stand on with an "X" in the dirt.Alex positioned herself below them with an array of gear to ensure she got the perfect shot, including two cameras and tripods, her phone to record a video, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/solar-eclipse-photo-advice-pro-photographer-2024-4#:~:text=To%20protect%20your%20equipment%20while,filter%20for%20your%20smartphone%2C%20too.">an ND filter to protect her camera's lens</a>. She also knew she would need to use a flash setting on her camera to capture the photo since the sky would become dark."I brought everything I could think of because I really didn't know what to expect," she told BI. "I've never photographed in totality before."She also had to wear eclipse glasses as she set everything up once it started and could only remove them when the eclipse reached totality.<h2>Alex got the perfect photo</h2>When Hoffpauir and Harbison arrived, Alex looked like a space enthusiast prepared to capture the eclipse as she sat in a lawn chair.Hoffpauir spotted Alex's "X" and quickly covered it with a blanket, positioning himself and Harbison exactly where they needed to be despite Harbison's protests that they were in Alex's way.Finally, the eclipse reached totality at 1:42 p.m., and Hoffpauir and Alex sprung into action. Alex said she knew immediately she got the shot she needed because of Hoffpauir's timing.<div type="image" title="A man proposes to a woman as a total solar eclipse takes place." height="3000" width="2000" msid="109203277" hostid="261" sizebytes="143164"></div>"He nailed it," Alex said. "He got down on one knee right there, right in the middle of the flash, and got that beautiful diamond effect with the totality.""She got an engagement ring when there's one in the sky," Alex said. "It was almost like this cosmic moment. It was just phenomenal."Hoffpauir proposed with a raw sapphire ring from <a target="_blank" href="https://stagheaddesigns.com/">Staghead Designs</a>.<div type="image" title="A couple kisses after he proposes in front of a solar eclipse." height="3004" width="2000" msid="109203279" hostid="261" sizebytes="294136"></div>Harbison was completely surprised, as she didn't suspect the proposal or that Alex was anyone other than an eclipse viewer."She was just beside herself, and he was so stoked, and I was excited," Alex said.After the proposal, Alex uploaded a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@macyalexphoto/video/7355598703639530794">behind-the-scenes TikTok </a>about the shoot with Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" playing in the background, not thinking much of it as she headed to a happy hour with friends.But hours later, she discovered the video had gone viral. It amassed over 4 million views as of Wednesday. "I almost threw my phone across the restaurant," Alex said of her reaction to the video's popularity. "It just really wasn't something I was expecting to happen.""I'm just so eternally grateful people are as excited about their love as I am," she said. "What a joy to get to share that moment with everybody."

That's why hybrid eclipses are also called annular/total eclipses, according to <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/hybrid-solar-eclipse.html">TimeAndDate.com</a>.In the single minute of totality, some observers will see a total solar eclipse — when the moon's full shadow, or "umbra," completely blocks the sun.<div type="image" title="total solar eclipse shows dark circle of moon's shadow with purple ring around it where the sun is hiding" height="515" width="687" msid="99622257" hostid="261"></div>Others will see an annular eclipse, where the edge of the sun remains visible and makes a ring around the moon. They're in the "antumbra," because the moon is at just the right distance for the Earth's curvature to bring some people close enough to the moon to see the sun peeking out around it.<div type="image" title="annular solar eclipse where dark circle of the moon's shadow covers the center of the sun with a ring of solar plasma peeking out around it" height="2249" width="3000" msid="99622258" hostid="261"></div>Outside the narrow path of totality, other observers will see a partial eclipse, where the moon covers just a segment of the sun's disc.

The next hybrid eclipse won't occur until 2031, and after that observers must wait until 2049, according to NASA.Correction: April 19, 2023 — An earlier version of this story misstated the year of the next hybrid solar eclipse after 2031. The following hybrid eclipse will occur in 2049, not 2164.

Many of those eclipses are partial ones — the moon doesn't cover the entire sun. Saturday's event was the only total solar eclipse of 2021."It's such an exotic location," Anderson said of Antarctica, adding that witnessing the eclipse there was "cream on top of the milk."The spectacle began with a rare crescent sunrise, as the sun, partially obscured by the moon, peeked above the sea.<div type="image" title="antarctica total solar eclipse 2021" height="2106" width="3159" msid="88133252" hostid="261"></div>The crescent sun making its way through the sky was "like a big smile looking at you," Anderson said.

Badrinath (Uttarakhand) [India], November 8 (ANI): In view of the <keyword id="12567561" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="total-lunar-eclipse" source="Orion">total lunar eclipse</keyword> (Chandra Grahan), the doors of <keyword id="642949" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="badrinath-temple" source="Orion">Badrinath Temple</keyword> were closed earlier today and would remain so till late evening. "Badrinath Dham Temple closed for the lunar eclipse. The temple will re-open at 6:25 pm after the eclipse", Ajendra Ajay, Chairman of the Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee told ANI. Due to the Lunar Eclipse, temples across India have been closed since morning and would remain closed till 6:30 pm in the evening. Temples have announced that after performing the <keyword id="6290100" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sandhya-aarti" source="Orion">Sandhya Aarti</keyword> and other rituals for purification, the temples would be opened to the public. A Lunar eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth, and a Full Moon form a near-perfect Syzygy in space. The Moon slides into the Earth's shadow and gradually darkens until the entire lunar disc turns into an eerie red or dim orange from its usual silvery grey shade. The event unfolds in reverse order further, until the moon returns to its full brilliance. The <keyword id="15461656" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="november-8th-lunar-eclipse" source="Orion">November 8th lunar eclipse</keyword> is the last lunar eclipse of the year and the second total lunar eclipse in the year 2022, the earlier was on May 15-16th. Today's eclipse would be visible across India along with parts of Asia, North America, Australia, and a few places in Europe as well as in the entire North America. The next Lunar eclipse is predicted to be on the 5th of May, 2023. Every year, from anywhere between four to seven times, the Sun, Moon, and Earth line up in a Syzygy, forming what is called either the Solar or Lunar Eclipse. (ANI)

<ul class="summary-list"><li>An annular <keyword id="6699518" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="solar-eclipse">solar eclipse</keyword> will form in the sky at 6:53 a.m. ET on Thursday.</li><li>The phenomenon is marked by a bring circle of light, or 'ring of fire,' around the <keyword id="42440" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Moon">moon</keyword>'s edge.</li><li>The sight is partially visible in the northeastern US but best seen from Canada and Russia.</li></ul>A solar eclipse will be visible in the sky at 6:53 a.m. ET on Thursday, as the moon passes between the <keyword id="6359982" type="LOCATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="earth">Earth</keyword> and the <keyword id="24879" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Sun">sun</keyword>.During a total solar eclipse, the moon blocks the sun entirely. But Thursday's spectacle is an annular solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon is too far from Earth - and therefore too small in the sky - to fully cover the sun. That leaves room for a brilliant halo of light, often referred to as a "ring of fire" or annulus, surrounding the moon.The phenomenon won't be visible everywhere: Parts of Canada, Greenland, and Russia will have the best views. People in the northeastern US, northern Europe, and northern Asia will be able to see a partial solar eclipse, which will look as if someone has taken a bite out of the sun.This will be the only annular solar eclipse this year, though it's the first of two solar eclipses in 2021. The year's second solar eclipse - a total eclipse - will take place on December 4. <h2>Annular solar eclipses are rare spectacles</h2><div type="image" title="A combination of photos depicts a partial annular solar eclipse observed with the use of a solar filter in Siak, Riau province, Indonesia, December 26, 2019. REUTERS/Willy Kurniawan" height="3965" width="5906" msid="83235376" hostid="261"></div>The glowing "ring of fire" in an annular eclipse is only visible for a short time: anywhere from a fraction of a second to over 12 minutes. Last year's annular solar eclipse lasted just under 90 seconds.Depending on your vantage point, you may still be able to see a band of light form along the moon's edge, then disappear over the span of roughly three hours. Total solar eclipses usually happen every five to six months, but annular solar eclipses only occur every year or two. That's because they require a precise set of conditions: To start, the sun, moon, and Earth must all be aligned. The moon must also be close to its apogee, or farthest point from Earth - around 252,700 miles away. In any solar eclipse, the moon's shadow carves a path across the Earth. During a total solar eclipse, the darkest part of the moon's shadow, called the umbra, hits the Earth. But during an annular solar eclipse - when the moon is farther from Earth - our planet instead passes through a part of the moon's shadow called the antumbra, which isn't quite as dark.<h2>You'll need special glasses to stare directly at the eclipse</h2><div type="image" title="solar eclipse" height="683" width="1024" msid="83235382" hostid="261"></div>It's dangerous to stare directly at any solar eclipse for the same reasons it's dangerous to look at the sun: The bright light can damage cells in your retina.This may ultimately distort your vision, resulting in blind spots or trouble making out shapes. Your eyes can also become watery and sore. Sometimes, these side effects won't show up for a few hours or even a few days.So if you want to view Thursday's solar eclipse in person, <keyword id="6360409" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Nasa">NASA</keyword> recommends wearing a pair of "eclipse glasses" with special solar filters. (The American Astronomical Society has <a href="https://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters">a list of reputable manufacturers</a>.) You can also purchase a pair of welder's goggles in shade 12 or higher.Sunglasses aren't a proper substitute - they transmit thousands of times too much sunlight, according to NASA.The eclipse will also be <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/live/eclipse-solar-2021-june-10?ftag=YHF4eb9d17">livestreamed</a> on Thursday for those looking to watch from home.After this, the next annular solar eclipse won't happen until October 14, 2023. In the meantime, the world can look forward to December's total solar eclipse, plus two partial solar eclipses in 2022.
