Question by pimbroke: Who knows the best place to find good time sequenced pics of or suns spectrum?
I want good color shots of solar spectrum as far back as they go. I know someone knows out there.
Best answer:
Answer by Macho McmanlyNot sure what you mean by spectrum. If you want to see the solar spectrum, it's represented by a consistent diagram of absorption lines found here: http://www.noao.edu/image_gallery/html/im0600.html
If you're just looking for a spinning sun in different spectra (which are only "color" shots because they are false colors chosen by scientists), then maybe below is where you should look.
Live, streaming data on the sun in UV is always coming from STEREO: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/main/index.html
^That mission also has a live app for iPhone that allows you to choose other wavelengths of light as well.
You can backtrack spectral imagery here as well, but it's not as pretty or inclusive:

Answer by RAWR!I'll be in my back yard. But the cliff overlooking the Pennybacker Bridge should be kickass.
Give your answer to this question below!
How to make a shoe-box viewer to safely view the solar eclipse. I added black duct tape to all the taped edges of the box to block any stray light, and black tape next to the eye-hole to reduce the glare to your eye from the Sun shining on the outside of the white box.

How often do moons eclipse one another?
Question by Arex: How often do moons eclipse one another?
In my fantasy book series, the world I write about has got two moons. I thought it would be fun to build a festival around a idea where once a year one of the moons eclipses the other. Scientifically, how far-fetched is this idea? For instance on Mars, do Phobos and Deimos ever eclipse one another and how often does it happen? I'm not opposed to stretching the truth just a bit since it is a fantasy book, but if it's completely scientifically ludicrous or impossible, I'd rather not include it. Thanks for the help

Answer by Big DaddyMartian moons are very different from the earth's moon. I don't think they're relevant.
There's no particular reason that some moons around a planet couldn't undergo periodic or semi-periodic eclipses. The idea that a earth-like planet may have two or more large moons may be the less likely aspect.
But we don't have a lot of samples (just the planets in this solar system) to judge by. So having eclipsing moons in a story isn't beyond any plausibility limit that I'd worry about.

Does the November 28, 2012 lunar eclipse have prophetic significance? Exactly 65 years ago, just before the UN General Assembly voted to partition Palestine and give land to the Jews, a penumbral lunar eclipse occurred. This very same type of eclipse occurred last night before the UN General Assembly is to vote on upgrading Palestine's status and therefore recognize them as a state and therefore possibly divide the land of Israel. Simply interesting... or prophetic? You decide. But watch my video first ;)
