Happy Star Wars day fellow space-nerds!
(Too bad they had to ruin the science right there at the end!)
So sad
Too be fair, it was called "The Death Star". They knew what they were getting into.

Happy Star Wars Day! I only know one Star Wars joke so, here it is....
Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader are having a light saber duell.
Vader: Luke, come to the dark side.
Luke: No, never!
Vader: Luke, it is your destiny
Luke: I'll never turn to the dark side
Vader: Luke, if you come to the dark side, I'll tell you what you're getting for Christmas
Luke:........ How can you possibly know what I'm getting for Christmas?
Vader: I felt your presents. ???
HAHAHA

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
