Another eclipse video, this time from Starlink satellite: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/1bz9ltv/solar_eclipse_from_a_starlink_satellite/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/1bz9ltv/solar_eclip...</a>
That animation is bonkers! I don't recall ever seeing anything similar for previous eclipses, it's a great visualization for the scale of things.
ffmpeg plus still images are a cool way to make an animation. A very, very long time ago I did the same with EVE Online sovereignty maps that got updated once a day. (it was back in the Band of Brother vs Goonswarm days, so ancient history)
Is that animation fake or edited?<p>Why is the night sky (no direct light) showing clouds as bright white objects but the solar eclipse is basically a totally black hole?<p>How could that even work? The side facing away from the sun should be just as dark as the centre of the eclipse.
NASA was showing some views of the shadow from the ISS as part of their coverage.<p><a href="https://youtu.be/_mnL83o5tBY?si=3xnzJd6eqH2E_ulS" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/_mnL83o5tBY?si=3xnzJd6eqH2E_ulS</a>
