Title: The Great Eclipse - Discussion
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on August 21, 2017, 07:45:56 AM
It's supposed to last 2 total minutes. While everyone is going blind outside trying to watch it, I'm going to crack one off during the same time.  When people ask where you were during the eclipse I can tell them busting my load.

I was always told that looking at an eclipse, is similar to looking at my reflection in the mirror. You can't focus for too long, or you will go blind.

Make sure you be patient for the right moment when it is total darkness because the whole effect should be historical.

They are making it act like it's a once in a lifetime eclipse.

Not visible in Australia so chilidogging will not be affected.

They should spank black kids harder during eclipses; they've tried everything else.
 
I hope that people watching the eclipse are saved.

The last total eclipse was 1979. I remember a partial when I was in middle school around the sixt grade though.

Had a great campsite at Cove Pallisades State Park outside of Madras, Oregon. Beautiful high desert canyon scenery. Not a clusterfuck either.

 Got some nice shots with my telephoto and my wide angle. And some cool Milky Way shots the night before. Had a great time.

The best moments were when the sun approached full coverage. It got almost completely dark and all the birds suddenly went silent. A surreal experience.

One GetBigger who mistakenly thinks I'm pretty damn smart about this sort of stuff asked me ..... "If an eclipse occurs at night ... does it get twice as dark?"

I think that the only answer is "YES .... definitely!".

But ,,,,

I short while back I was a short term member within a Quantum Mechanics discussion group and one of my fellow QM nerds challenged me to ‘discover’ the formula which would ‘disclose’ the exact times and locations at which eclipses would occur on this here planet.

SO I got serious and set out to see if a formula existed or if one was even a possibility  only to discover that it ‘AIN’T”.

Here is an explanation in a nutshell  as explained by one of the world's smartest guys from India (I think),

“There is no simple formula to calculate the times and locations of eclipses.

The calculation of eclipses is tedious work requiring many observations or calculations of the positions of the Moon and the Sun.

The lunar orbit data must then be extrapolated to find the months when eclipses might occur and then the exact times determined to see where the eclipse will be visible.

The eclipse path can then be projected into the Earth's surface to find if a total eclipse will be visible from a given location at a particular time.

This work requires a lot of patience and an understanding of the geometry involved and cannot be reduced to a formula.”

So how did this last one come to be known beforehand?!

I think that smart guy form India  may be proven to be wrong once a big leap occurs among intelligent computers.

That is …. Unless a real smart GetBigger can figure it out and place that formula on this here GetBig Board.

I get along well with QM people because they enjoy my stupid questions which makes them think outside the box.

Questions such as:

 "How far into space does an eclipse's shadow travel after it does its thing on planet earth and does that same eclipse shadow ever occur again someplace else?"

"Does an eclipse shadow ever fade into nothing-ness as it travels in a straight line throughout the universe?" That 'shadow's straight line' caused a decent amount of conversation and debate in itself.

"Do eclipses occur on an hourly basis or much more frequently throughout the universe?"

My stupid questions cause a lot of intelligent conversations ... but I can never completely understand the answers if and when they decide to respond.

Not claiming this as my own work, but this is the formula for between 2005 and 2050:

ΔT=62.92+0.32217∗t+0.005589∗t2

Where:
y=year+(month−0.5)/12

t=y−2000

TAFFIn, Thanks!

Here is one last question for ya before I go to that site and see if I can figure it out and compute it myself.

That question is ... "Is it possible to somehow work that formula/equation backwards to see when an where eclipses have occurred in the past without any prior knowledge after referring to a Farmer's Almanac?

Mr Stunt Sir,

I have to confess I'm not familiar with the Farmer's Almanac so I'm not sure what it contains, sorry  :(

BUT I have another confession of sorts which may help us to answer your question.....

My previous answer is slightly 'cheaty' in that the formula uses tabulated observational data known as the ""Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses: -1999 to +3000"* - so we can use its various iterations to 'look back' in time to match records and/or extrapolate forward to predict - but without those tables there is no 'pure' or standalone formula (at least none that I'm aware of).

Therefore if the Almanac contains similar data that could be substituted for this purpose then the answer to your question may be yes... (but it would take someone much much cleverer than me to 'turn the lever' LOL  ;D)

Regards
Taf


Bedtime reading...
*During the 5,000-year period from -1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE), Earth will experience 11,898 eclipses of the Sun. The statistical distribution of eclipse types for this interval is as follows: 4,200 partial eclipses, 3956 annular eclipses, 3173 total eclipses, and 569 hybrid eclipses.

Detailed global maps for each of the 11,898 eclipses delineate the geographic regions of visibility for both the penumbral (partial) and umbral or antumbral (total, annular, or hybrid) phases of every event. Modern political borders are plotted to assist in the determination of eclipse visibility. The uncertainty in Earth's rotational period expressed in the parameter delta T and its impact on the geographic visibility of eclipses in the past and future is discussed.
