    Default Fall 2014 Eclipse Season Ends; Lunar Transit is Next

    Yesterday saw the end of the Fall 2014 eclipse season. If you look carefully in the upper right corner of this AIA 211 sequence you can see the limb of the Earth. The image at 0629 UTC looks dimmer and the corona is missing because of the atmosphere of the Earth absorbing the sunlight. The image is darker over most of the polar cap, although that is easier to see if you use the SDO data browser. Select the times for 22-Sept-2014 and AIA 211 to watch the dimming of the Sun caused by the atmosphere of the Earth.
    The Sun appears dimmer in the upper right corner where the Earth's atmosphere is absorbing the EUV light.
    Our next lunar transit is Wednesday, 24-Sept-2014, from 0650-0720 UTC (2:50-3:20 am ET). This movie from the SDO FDS team shows that the Moon will cover only a small part of the Sun during this transit. There aren't a lot of bright active regions in that part of the Sun, but the sharp edge of the Moon often covers something interesting. This is the fourth and final lunar transit that SDO will see in 2014.

    Couple years ago iirc there was a Venus transit on Carl Jung's death date; one week later Obama was signing the WTC djed and declaring intention of war against Syria...

    this lunar transit coincides strongly with USA dropping ordinance on Syria.

    doesn't look too good for people who disagree with those who say that evil is in high places in USA... "we struggle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, the spiritual rulers of darkness in the heavenly places"
