Sunrise doesn’t normally look like this.
Because the moon’s not normally in the way, as it was on the morning of May 10th, 2013 when seen from Western Australia. To wit:
At times, it would be hard for the uninformed to understand what was happening. In an annular eclipse, the Moon is too far from the Earth to block the entire Sun, and at most leaves a ring of fire where sunlight pours out around every edge of the Moon. The featured time-lapse video also recorded the eclipse through the high refraction of the Earth’s atmosphere just above the horizon, making the unusual rising Sun and Moon appear also flattened. As the video continues on, the Sun continues to rise, and the Sun and Moon begin to separate. This weekend, a new annular solar eclipse will occur, visible from central Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and a narrow band across Asia, with much of Earth’s Eastern hemisphere being able to see a partial solar eclipse.

A animated cacophony of musical anecdotes animated by Miloš Tomic inspired by a conversation overheard on a bus where a young musician admitted facing her cello into traffic when crossing the road, in the hope that, if she was hit, the instrument would be smashed up first.
A recent set by Dave Chappelle near Dayton, Ohio – less stand up, more a heartfelt personal take – in which he addresses (among others) the death of George Floyd (after 8 minutes and 46 seconds of forced asphyxiation) and the mass protests that followed.
Spent a good hour out in the storm in Waterford last night. Spliced all the good clips together and added music.
Pretty happy with the result even if it does seem like further proof that the world is ending. #LightningStorm #Thunderstorm@broadsheet_ie pic.twitter.com/SQJPJSjZ8v

Saturday night.

Go full screen.
