                                        "Rochette"....love that! I ALSO love the fact that so many women are actively guiding this project! And the fact that JPL/Cal Tech are both within 5 minutes of me makes me proud, too. We value science in my town.

Posted by starwatcher-alSolar minimum was in 2019 so the sun is ramping up in flares, spots and prominences.
Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
