Is the annular eclipse actually possible? 162.158.78.118 21:24, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Yes. https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/eclipses/2023/oct-14-annular/where-when/ 172.69.33.7 21:34, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
I interpret the Hug Eclipse as the sun wrapping around the moon giving it a hug, rather than the moon being pinched in on the sides. 172.70.211.62 21:38, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- I amended that (twice, first time got blitzed in an Edit Conflict situation), when I thought of a better way (two slightly different better ways! ...might not even have used the better one, in instance #2) to describe it. But I rushed a bit anyway... I can see typos. (Not including the likes of "centre", which is not a typo but me defaulting to British English by default; though no doubt that 'needs' changing too.)
- I'm still wondering if just "label" and "description" columns are needed (image details can be recycled into Transcript, per label). Or if it could be ";header" and ":...description" without the table, but I think it looks no worse than I had feared, as the current table form. Of course, others have added more prosaic explanation paragraphs, so I'll let it sit a while. Almost certainly the other active editors here are going to have ideas about how to merge/expunge my efforts, and I'll let them copyedit my errors/'errors' as well. But at least there's a framework answer (or several) now. 172.70.162.179 22:20, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
That must be a VERY scary dragonite. 172.71.26.153 02:20, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
