In which that Solar Eclipse, transiting was seen, on many levels, one on many socials, also as seen from the International Space Station, watching the moon’s umbra transiting, shadowing its path across the United States.. Along with other various live stream ways of watching the Solar Eclipse, but the important thing though is don’t look through the telescope at the sun, you’ll go permanently blind with your eyes naked… Without a strong filters that’s covering up the telescope, like an alpha or a metal glass solar filter…

One of many interesting things that night is the Cassini rings in which, through a large mirror telescope is the various divisions of layers or rings of various sizes of rocks and ice with different hues of greys and tan sandy tanned browns that’s forms the ballerinas tutu skirt that dances around the gaseous planet Saturn when you look from This Planet Earth at an average of one hour ago at an average of one billion kilometers…..
