www.twitter.com On August 1, a total solar eclipse was visible in parts of Canada, northern Greenland, the Arctic, central Russia, Mongolia, and China. The eclipse swept across Earth in a narrow path that begins in Canada's northern territory of Nunavut and ends in northern China's Silk Road region at sunset. An eclipse of the sun occurs when the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun. When the moon's shadow falls on Earth, people within that shadow see the moon block a portion of the sun's light. The moon's shadow has two parts, an umbra and a penumbra. The umbra is the "inner" part of the moon's shadow. The penumbra is the moon's faint "outer" shadow.

Q&A: Is it possible to buy Maxeon Solar Cells separately?


Question by Martin: Is it possible to buy Maxeon Solar Cells separately?
So Sunpower Maxeon Solar Cells are basically the best of the best PV cells at the moment or so I've heard. I was wondering instead of buying the entire module from Sunpower is it possible that Sunpower's most efficient PV cells could be bought separately? directly from them of course.

Please and Thank you in advance.

Answer by roderick_youngVery unlikely, if you're an amateur. Sunpower doesn't even sell its panels to the general public. If you have some kind of university research, possibly your department can arrange a deal with them.

More efficient cells can be bought from spectrolab.com , but understand that they are MUCH more expensive. Last I checked, they were hundreds of times (yes hundreds) more expensive per watt than crystalline silicon.

I'm looking for a young adult fiction novel on lunar eclipses.?


Question by xmusicismylifex: I'm looking for a young adult fiction novel on lunar eclipses.?
I read it a few years ago, and I can't remember the name of it for the life of me. It's about a lunar or solar eclipse. I think one of the characters name's was Amy or something along the lines of that. The title had something to do with Looking to the Stars. There were three main characters I think another one of them was Bree. There was definitely a sundial involved. Sorry about the minimal information, any suggestions at all would be very helpful. It was also realistic fiction, and is most likely categorized as a romance.

Question by SC3340: What time of the second and third contact for solar eclipse in Tennessee?
On August 21, 2017; I'll go to Bledsoe Creek State Park about 2 hours and 28 minutes by driving from North Alabama. I'll look the total phase of eclipse, but I don't look the partial eclipse and diamond ring. I can bring the bottle of water, sunscreen, and bug spray. But I don't bring the food.
