The Morning Star is Venus.. Someone could fire up stellarium with those co-ordinates to check.

that was gorgeous - how it looked like a huge star!! earlier

Anyone checked the Magnetosphere site during this? It is bizarre, I have never seen it do this before!

what is with those sun horns?

It looks like it's broken away at the front. The density readings are higher than I have ever seen them. I'd make a thread but I have no clue how on this yet and it's late lol

I missed the stream where you heard the mention of the morning star....
But... Venus would've been visible in India during the total darkness. I fired up Stellarium and its above and to the right of the Sun/Moon.

Um. I too checked India and Venus is nowhere near the sun. Venus is way up to the right of it. This blue object was right on the ring of the eclipse.

Yah I missed the stream where you saw that.. I just know that during the darkness the Morning Star would've been visible at a time when it normally wouldn't. Venus is usually tough to spot in the daylight.. But that darkness would've made it pop.

Its 13 degrees right and 39 degrees Up.

Can somebody please explain the craziness happening with the magnetoshere. Still do not know how to post pics. I have been watching it for the past 2 hrs from work and seems to be acting up a little.


edited for spelling due to laziness.

NDTV was excellent. They've been showing a split screen of 4 different areas.
The one announcer is really loving the eclipse. They now have a feed from an airplane, filming out the back..

yep the one I have been watching the whole time

The increase in pressure is a result of an increase in the solar wind produced by a coronal hole several days ago. There has been no unusual geomagnetic activity. The the increased pressure should subside over the next few hours.

CCTV-9 completely let me down, but luckily I had the outstanding NDTV and the occasional CNN coverage to make up for it on TV.
Im looking forward to the HD Pics being uploaded onto Spaceweather/Youtube in the next coming days. The Corona was quite small this time around being at Solar Minimum, didnt see any flares either.
Any word on the Dam yet?
