Force modelling during eclipse seasons is augmented by using an oblate Earth model for the occluding body in predicting the umbra/penumbra transitions. The accuracy of this technique in correctly predicting the epoch of the surface boundary transitions has been validated by indepe...
carrying NASA payloads and aiming to make the second ever commercial soft lunar landing. During this week, the spacecraft captured a gorgeous view of asolar eclipse seen from space, and now it has captured an even more impressive visual: our planet Earth, as seen from a distance of 4,000...

This is seriously cool. JSX is going to run a special solar eclipse-viewing flight on April 8th. One of their pilots is ex-NASA. And they’regiving away the seats. The moon will pass between the earth and the sun, obscuring our ability to see the sun. ...
Editor's note: The eclipse is here! Remember to use safe solar eclipse glasses and other equipment during the partial phases, and soak up the darkness during totality! We're just days away from the total solar eclipse of Aug. 21 , and it's a good time for a refresher course on how ...
