In a separate post (see further discussion below), Marco Thiel posted a link to mesmerizing footage of the total solar eclipse, shot from an airplane (to avoid any cloudiness) by a BBC crew while flying above the Faroe Islands (see related discussion below). If you have an idea of how to solve second part, finding a location from a photo timestamp and percentage of the Sun cover, please join the discussion and post on Wolfram Community
Total Lunar Eclipse On Wednesday Will Be a Rare 'Selenelion'
This allows people on Earth to see the sun for several extra minutes before it actually has risen and the moon for several extra minutes after it has actually set. Farther west, across the western Great Lakes and down through the Deep South to the Gulf of Mexico, the moon will appear to be notched on its lower right side by the shadow
I dont have my camera on me :( Reply 0 Dot Dot Guest April 29, 2014 4:08 pm Is this going to be showing the eclipse? I'm confused ;-; Reply 0 Danny Allen @dannyallen April 29, 2014 4:33 pm Yep, video at top. Never look at the sun unless your eyes are protected in some way, because excessive light can destroy the rods and cones inside your eyes and permanently damage your vision
Wolf Barber Grove Observatory (BGO) Robert-Victor October 5, 2014 at 8:45 pm Alan, In the timetable for the total lunar eclipse, in the column for Pacific Daylight Time, the start of totality is given as 3:35 a.m. A combination of the latitude of the observer and the time during the eclipse when the photo is taken will give a variety of separations between the two bodies
Actual eclipse visibility depends on weather conditions and line of sight to the Moon.When the eclipse happened worldwideLunar eclipses look approximately the same all over the world and happen at the same time.

Total Lunar Eclipse of 2004 Oct 27-28 Beginning (right), middle (center) and end (left) of totality (click to see photo gallery) Why is the Moon Red During a Total Lunar Eclipse? During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the Sun's light from reaching the Moon. (Sizes and distances not to scale) Types of Lunar Eclipses An eclipse of the Moon (or lunar eclipse) can only occur at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow
through early afternoon, enabling participants to use special telescopes to observe the partial eclipse, as well as listen to a short lecture, the Israeli Astronomical Association said. The optometrists warned that people should not make use of their phones at all to capture the event, the report added.NASA safety protocols likewise warn that directly observing partial eclipses requires eye protection, and that failure to do so with appropriate filtration mechanisms can cause permanent eye damage or blindness
Over the following hour, it will slowly move over the Sun before reaching maximum eclipse at around 9.32am.The Moon will then continue to move over the face of the Sun before the eclipse finally ends at 10.41am.For those of you wanting to see a total eclipse, where the moon covers the entire sun, then you may need to take a slight trek up north - to Norway.The reason for this is because the further north you get, the greater the surface area that will be covered.So, for instance, in the Orkney Islands there will be 92 per cent of coverage, while in Norway there will be a total eclipse.The last full solar eclipse visible from the UK occurred in 1999.Because the Moon is around 400 times smaller than the Sun and also 400 times closer to the Earth, both appear to be essentially the same size to observers on our planet.We will keep you updated closer to the day on what the weather conditions are expected to be like

Solar Eclipses for Beginners
Did you realize that the word month is derived from the Moon's 29.5 day period? To many early civilizations, the Moon's monthly cycle was an important tool for measuring the passage of time. Total Solar Eclipse and Path of Totality Total Solar Eclipses and the Path of Totality If the Moon's inner or umbral shadow sweeps across Earth's surface, then a total eclipse of the Sun is seen

Observers on the central line can eek out another 5 seconds of totality, but local weather conditions will play a far greater role in choosing a viewing site than a few seconds of totality. An annular eclipse will be visible from a 240 to 300 kilometre-wide track that traverses eastern Asia, the northern Pacific Ocean and the western United States

On Sunday, May 20, the Moon will pass in front of the sun, transforming sunbeams across the Pacific side of Earth into fat crescents and thin rings of light
