The 'standard' and '2x' sized images had unexpected sizes, so a Trivia section has been automatically generated, and an imagesize parameter has been added (at half size) to render the image consistently with other comics on this website. --[[User:TheusafBOT|TheusafBOT]] ([[User talk:TheusafBOT|talk]]) 06:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC) | The 'standard' and '2x' sized images had unexpected sizes, so a Trivia section has been automatically generated, and an imagesize parameter has been added (at half size) to render the image consistently with other comics on this website. --[[User:TheusafBOT|TheusafBOT]] ([[User talk:TheusafBOT|talk]]) 06:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC) | ||

As someone who witnessed his first total solar eclipse in Western Australia in April 2023, I'm very much looking forward to the 2028 eclipse across Australia. Seriously considering driving past the mountains if the forecast looks cloudy for Sydney...

:How did that work though? We have total and annular solar eclipses look the way they do because the angular diameter of the Moon and the Sun are almost exactly the same when viewed from Earth. In the supposed {{w|File:Apollo_12_view_of_Solar_Eclipse_(5052129615).jpg|photo of Earth eclipsing the Sun}}, the apparent size of Sun and the body eclipsing it are likewise similar. But the diameter of the Earth is more than 3 times the diameter of the Moon, so for their angular diameters to be similar, the photo would have needed to been taken from a distance from the Earth more than 3 times the Earth-Moon distance. Did the trajectory of Apollo 12 have such a point? Or does the photo that's described in many places as the Solar Earth Eclipse actually show the Moon eclipsing the Sun? If so, do we have a photo of the actual Solar Earth Eclipse? | :How did that work though?

The '''partial''' photo looks more like a projection onto a sheet of paper with a pinhole camera than a direct shot of the eclipse.
