A reminder for those who plan to look at the eclipse this Monday April 8th 2024: make sure you protect your eyes with solar eclipse glasses, a solar filter on a telescope, welder face shields with grade 14 lens or a pin hole solar eclipse projector made out of cardboard to project an image onto a screen. Too many people burn their retinas by trying to look at an eclipse without proper eye protection.
The photos above were taken in 2012 and 2017. The greenish image and the blue background image is from a May 2012 eclipse seen in Southern California. The blue background is a simulation of what the sky looked like during the May 2012 eclipse in the western sky over Southern California during an afternoon. The 2017 eclipse was during the morning hour in August 2017.
