Talk:2917: Types of Eclipse Photo

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. --TheusafBOT (talk) 06:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

8920x6909?! JLZ0kTC5 (talk) 06:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC) Title text likely refers to this image [1], and may also refer to Alan Bean destroying the color tv camera on that same mission by pointing it inadvertently at the sun. 172.69.140.145 07:03, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Cleveland, Ohio Science Center had a terrific view and NASA research and public relations teams were out in force. It was terrific. All of my photos are of the Focus and Crowd variety.Iggynelix (talk) 12:00, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I've seen one in 1999. It was glorious. Huge shadow crossing a large lake at a million miles an hour.

Why did Munroe do this??? I opened the email (I get it emailed because I'm too lazy to check the website) and it crashed my computer. Three times. Surely it wasn't intentional... By me. (talk) 10:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Is it just me, or is "solar earth eclipse" just a synonym for things like "sunset" and "night"? 172.70.174.209 11:17, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

-Yes, but these things are more interesting when you are as far away as the moon and Earth's "night" still reaches you. 172.70.111.174 16:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I think the 'Solar Earth Eclipse' is a reference to the Earth eclipsing the Sun for the Apollo 12 crew. That must have been spectacular. 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... 108.162.249.36 12:07, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

The partial photo looks more like a projection onto a sheet of paper with a pinhole camera than a direct shot of the eclipse. 162.158.91.60 18:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
