    Every Eclipse is broadcast live every year by a number of organisations. Time and Date do them regularly. But the 2021 Total Solar Eclipse was in the Antartica in December of that year. And only two organisations made an attempt to broadcast that Total Solar Eclipse in the Antartica. NASA TV and National Geographical. The area that the Total Sola Eclipse in December 2021 had a 70% chance of being cloudy. But there was luck on that day as there where clear Sky’s. Here is NASA TV’s live coverage from December 2021 with full live coverage but on this occasion no commentary.All of these live broadcasts are free worldwide and online every year. Als during the period of Totality, s well as the Corona in December 2021 you can also see some promininces which is the gas throwing up from the sun and in reality that is millions of miles above from the sun. But as seen with human eyes from our planet it doesn't look like that at all

  • Iv been waiting a long time to get a photo of the moon phases for this thread. I was unable to take photos when the moon was out and When it started letting me take photos the moon was hidden  so Iv had to wait until I can see the moon again which is usually around this time. But finally I’m able to take photos of it  heres the photos I’ve taken so far this evening

Here is one such live broadcast online from 2016.in a full recording of one of the many live broadcast of the 2016 Transit of Mercury. There was also a Transit of Mercury in 2019. Sadly the next Transit of Mercury won’t be until 2032.

    The Transit of Venus is the rarest astromical event that occurs that can be accurate with the dates of the Transits of Venus for thousands of years ahead ehen such an event occurs. In fact before the 2004 Transit Of Venus occurred in 2004. No human alive had witnessed such an event as the last Transit of Venus around 1882. Each Transit of Venus comes in Pairs of 8 years apart. And after the 2012 Transit of Venus the next such Transit will happen 2117. I did see the Transit of Venus myself in 2004 as the whole of that Transit was visible in Europe including the UK. And luckily it was a hot and sunny day. And with my safety Eclipse Glasses as registered as safe by NASA I saw the Transit of Venus in 2004. The 2012 Transit of Venus was best seen on the other side of this planet. With only around 2 hours possible of seeing the 2012 in Rurope including the UK as the Sun was below the horizon most of the time. The 3 links above show how BBC TV covered the 2004 Transit of Venus!

    Above is the link from Time and Date of the 2026 Total Solar Eclipse in a small part of Europe. If you miss the 2026 Total Solar Eclipse in part of Europe. It will be quite a long time until the next Total Solar Eclipse in Europe. Total Solar Eclipses occur most years somewhere on this planet. But occasionally there are periods of at most 18 months between Total Solar Eclipses!
