E 60

Eclipse stories with ISS View, Lunar Time Zone! Biggest camera ever! Chilean Super Telescope, Hundreds of twin rogue planets discovered between star systems, the singing nuns at Abbey Road. 

We hope you all enjoyed your eclipse experience, be it partial, full, or virtual!  Our fav visuals were from the ISS, where you could see the eclipse, appearing as a dark cloud-like 115 mile diameter shadow cast onto the planet’s surface, speeding across the continent, southwest to northeast.  Moving at 2400 km/h, the dark shadow turned day into night for 4 minutes or so in towns and cities it swept across, creating a visual interplay of light and dark when seen from low earth orbit.  Check it out..This clips shows two views from space, one from the space station, the other from a Starlink satellite in a higher orbit.

This week Bobby is remote on the Carrizo Plain, a Central California location famous for wildflower blooms this time of year. He and Katia are in the middle of it all, surrounded by blossoming beauty and lots of crickets!  Bandwidth from there was good via his T-Mobile internet gateway, allowing us to look at the latest on a new lunar time zone, increasing Youtube comprehension speed tips, new useful AI apps, the Chile telescope and proof of the Multi/Universe, one way or another.  Oh yes, and we delve into the mystery of ‘rogue planets,’ traveling between star systems, usually in pairs. And Mrs. Future says, “check out the singing nuns at Abbey Road!” (toward the end of the show). Enjoy!
