Steve Brown - astronomy and astrophotography · 2 · 4h agoIt seems to me that the Sun knows there's an eclipse happening soon and deliberately goes spotless just to troll us. Seems to happen every time! 😁
David! I have an idea! How about everybody agree to worship the Sun all day and all night one day and do so by agreeing to not touch any weapons or hurt anybody else for the whole day! War people too! Maybe it will spread for more days after that? Make it so number one! Have fun everyone! Orders
Pictures of the sun with the safe equipment are awesome man. Thank you for sharing David. Cool cool cool!
Are you going to take your computer into a shop? Most computer shops in America are con artists that do not fix your computer. They say they can't in order to sell you a new one of theirs.
The moon will kinda get in the way of seeing spots!!! LOL
Seriously, I am hoping there are spots just coming in to view as the Sun rotates and may even be on the limb of the Sun during the eclipse, which may mean we see flares and other CME activity during totality!
