Astronomical clock Haguenau - Astronomical clock - Haguenau - France - This clock - astrolabe was made by Hoerz d'Ulm in 1904. Damaged during the war in 1945, it was repareed and reinstated on the Alsatian Museum in Haguenau in 1958. This is a copy of the clock of the City Hall of Ulm (Germany), dating from 1581 and made by Isaac Habrecht. This clock has the particularity of having a dragon needle, representing the rotation of the line of nodes. It indicates the eclipses of the Sun and Moon, when the needle of the Sun and that of the Moon perfectly superimpose on the needle of the dragon. Astronomical clock in Haguenau. Replica of the astronomical clock of Ulm in Germany
Apollo 12: Eclipse of Sun by Earth - Apollo 12 view of Solar Eclipse - The Earth eclipse the Sun. Image obtained by the crew of Apollo 12 on their return trip to Earth in November 1969. Apollo 12 view of Solar Eclipse in November 1969. On Earth, solar eclipses happen when the Moon covers the Sun. On the Moon, the roles are reversed. It's Earth that covers the Sun. Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean, saw one in 1969. He was flying home from the Moon along with crewmates Pete Conrad and Dick Gordon when their spaceship flew through Earth's shadow

Chateau - Abbadia Observatory - Abbadia Castle - Property of the Academy of Sciences, located in Hendaye, in the Atlantic Pyrenees, this castle was the home of Antoine d'Abbadie (1810 - 1897), a scholar and explorer. It was built between 1864 and 1879 by the architect Eugene Viollet-le-Duc (1814 - 1879), instead of an astronomical observatory dating back to 1858. The castle houses a new observatory, equipped with a Meridian bezel of 2.05 m focal length, with which d'Abbadie participated in the elaboration of the map of the sky “”. Passionate about astronomy, Antoine d'Abbadie made many trips, notably to observe total eclipses of the Sun in Norway (1851), Spain (1860) and Algeria (1867). In 1882 he observed Venus's passage before the Sun from the West Indies. He was president of the Academy of Sciences in 1891 and 1892. Abbadia Castle, owned by the French Academy of Sciences, was built by Eugene Viollet le Duc between 1864 and 1879. It houses a former astronomy observatory.

Earth during a Total Solar Eclipse - Earth during a Total Solar Eclipse - Artist's view of the planet Earth during the night, seen above the Indian Ocean. The artificial lights of the cities appear. On the right, the part illuminated by the Sun shows an area of shadow caused by a total eclipse of the Sun. The perspective in this image is looking down on the Indian Ocean from an altitude of 25,000 miles. On the Earth's night side artificial lights clearly define the Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, and almost the entire African continent, while clouds obscure some of Europe and India. The alignment with the Moon and Sun is such that at this moment a total eclipse of the Sun is visible revealing the Sun's brilliant corona. However the area of totality, i.e., the darkest part of the Moon's shadow, is so small - - less than 200 miles wide - - that observers on the Earth would not be able to see this total eclipse. The only portion of the eclipse visible from the Earth is in the eastern Indian Ocean where the Moon's penumbra (partial shadow) falls, as can be seen in this image. The fact that total solar eclipses are visible at all is due in part to one of the most amazing coincidences in the Solar System: the Sun and the Moon appear from Earth to be about the same size in the sky. This is because the Sun's diameter is both 400 times that of the Moon's and is about 400 times as far away from the Earth. The result is that from the Earth, the Moon appears to just barely cover the Sun. If the Moon's diameter were reduced by just 6%, or if it were a little further away, it would never be large enough to ever completely cover the Sun
