Weather is holding. We should be in for a good chance to see the partial eclipse. Telescope tested and set for projection.🤞 We also have some smaller groups of sun spots and a larger one shuffling in.

The Meteosat-12 satellite captured this space perspective of the partial solar eclipse this morning🌍🌑🌞 In a partial solar eclipse, the Moon moves between Earth and the Sun, partially blocking the sunlight. So for us on Earth, it seems like there is a shadow on the Sun but

Here is our quickly assembled video of key images from today's partial eclipse. Nottingham Trent University NTUScienceTechnology Nottingham Astro Soc NTU Research Sherwood Observatory Notts TV

We also helped members of the Bromley House Library to observe the eclipse with our student Luke and images captured by Katelynn. All exploring the meridian sundial. Nottingham Trent University NTUScienceTechnology Nottingham Astro Soc Notts TV NTU Research

Some really nice solar activity during the solar eclipse captured at 11:27. Nottingham Trent University Nottingham Trent University Nottingham Astro Soc Notts TV Sherwood Observatory NTU Research
