On April 8, 2024 an orbiting Starlink satellite filmed the solar eclipse, an impressive black hole on the surface of the Earth (the shadow of the Moon). Starlink is a constellation of thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit (between 300 and 600 km. altitude).

The first picture of a black hole The EHT telescope, a terrestrial telescope network that combines data from electromagnetic interference stations located on the Earth, just gave the first picture of a black hole: the supermassive black hole in M87 *, mass estimated between 5,8000000000 7,2 billion times greater than the Sun and located in the heart of the elliptical galaxy M87.
The eclipse as seen from a satellite On August 21, 2017, the American weather satellite GOES-16, photographed every 5 minutes North America at the time of the eclipse. In the footage shows the shadow of the Moon crosses the United States from west to east.
The seasons of the year Why do some areas on Earth have continuously heat while other deluged by low temperatures and snow; And why the seasons are reversed in the two hemispheres; The Rebecca Kaplan explains how the shape of the orbit of the earth around the Sun and the tilt of its axis around affect the amount of sunlight it receives each area.

Watching the eclipse with a telescope On Monday, April 8, 2024, Americans had the opportunity to witness a total solar eclipse. A young man wanted to watch the moon pass in front of the Sun with a telescope, something that is extremely dangerous. The young man will burn his face and fortunately will not put his eye against the accumulated rays of the Sun. During a solar eclipse you should NEVER look at the Sun with a camera lens, telescope, binoculars or any other optical device even if you wear eclipse glasses or other filters. Concentrated solar rays will pass through the filter and cause serious eye injury.

The train from the Elon Musk satellites an array of 20 satellites recorded pass over Barcelona. The satellites are part of the Starlink Project, a future satellite internet based on a constellation of 12.000 orbiting satellites. The Starlink developed by Elon Musk, and will offer a broadband internet service with reduced data transfer delay.
A coyote and badger entering a tunnel together A coyote awaits his friend the badger to cross drinker a tunnel under a highway in California. This relationship between the two species is fairly common, well together to hunt. The coyote has better vision and can quickly chasing the surface, while the badger has a better sense of smell and can chase the prey in small passages and holes.

60 satellites in a series over the sky of Netherlands On Friday, May 24, 2019 in the skies over Dutch city of Leiden, an amateur astronomer was able to film an impressive "train" from satellites. The 60 satellites were launched into orbit around the Earth 22 hours earlier by a rocket Falcon 9 SpaceX of the Cape Canaveral, Florida. It is part of the Starlink Project, a future satellite internet based on a constellation of 12.000 orbiting satellites. The Starlink will offer a broadband internet service with reduced data transfer delay (25ms compared to 600ms for the conventional Internet satellite in geostationary orbit). The amateur astronomer saw the satellite random train. He had calculated its orbit and knew where and when to go.
