Does Nasa know something about the solar system and celestial mechanics that we don't?

maybe DARPA has been developing planet-destruction technology and want to showcase it today

Let's hope that they manage to destroy the correct planet - their record isn't too good

Could someone at NASA please move away the mouse cursor?

Does anyone know of an Android-friendly site for this event?

Oy.

Does Flash not work on your device?

Mz3• 14 years ago

I don't think so. And the thing jumps around and won't center on my screen properly.

Watching through eclipse glasses, you really do get the sense of Venus hanging there in 3D space, all those miles away. It's pretty humbling.

Clouds ruined it for me. Feeling pretty down. Video doesn't do this justice :(

Binocs projecting on white cardboard is working great for me. I can also clearly see sunspots. A steady hand works if you don't have a tripod.

Warning! Never look at the sun through binoculars directly! Project the image onto white paper or cardboard.

I can confirm: Binoculars-on-a-stick is really easy and rally great. The only problem is that the darned Sun keeps moving out of alignment. Curse you, rotating-planet-Earth!

(Oh. Shameless plug: https://twitter.com/fennecfoxen/status/210152019980333056 - with a barely-visible sunspot to boot.)

Why is one side of the circle more red and the other more blue?
