See Fig 12a, b, c. The reason you can see the craters on the side facing us is because the earth is reflecting light on it!  In the attempt to photograph the entire extent of the Corona, I did a 7 shot bracket and stacked the images in Photomatix 5.  However I found putting the 2 longest exposures in the stack added too much scatter from the smoke in the air so only used 5 of the images in the stack.  Upon looking at the longest exposure I noticed the earthshine!  That's Regulus to the bottom left of the sun.  In the previous images I cloned it out thinking it was a hot pixel. This was a 1/2 second exposure at 400 ISO at f5.6 with the Canon 7DMKII plus 500mm f4 IS V1  Enjoy! 

ECLIPSE EFFECT: HIGH TIDE UNUSAUAL: WASHIGTON: Solar eclipse’s high tides break net, dump Atlantic salmon in Pacific off Washington: Fishers were incensed at the Atlantic salmon intruding in home waters of native Washington Pacific salmon. The spill was caused by tides pushed unusually high by Monday’s approaching total solar eclipse. Thousands of Atlantic salmon were accidentally released from a fish farm into waters between Anacortes and the San Juan Islands when tides were pushed unusually high by the Eclipse. (Seattle Times).

EARTH QUAKE DUE TO SOLAR ECLIPSE!!!

Aug 22, 2017, 05:07 AM IST: ROME:  THERMAL WATERS: The tremor hit the northwest of the island at 8:57 pm (1957 GMT), with a depth of some 10 km. An eathquake rattled the Italian resort island of Ischia, famous for thermal waters,  at the peak of tourist season Monday 21 August 2017 night, killing at least one person and trapping a half dozen others, including children, under collapsed homes. Police said all but one of the people known to be trapped were responding to rescuers and were expected to be extracted alive. One person, however, wasn't responding, raising worries the death toll could increase. There was great discrepancy in the magnitude reported: Italy's national vulcanology agency put the initial magnitude at 3.6, though it revised it to a 4.0 sustained magnitude with a shallow depth of 5 kilometers (3 miles) in the waters just off the island. The US Geological Survey and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center gave it a 4.3 magnitude, with a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). One woman was killed by falling masonry. At least three people were extracted from the rubble. Ischia is a favorite island, famed in particular for its thermal waters.

            The temperature dropped, birds quieted down, crickets chirped and the stars came out in the middle of the day as the line of darkness raced 2,600 miles (4,200 km) across the continent in about 90 minutes. In Boise, Idaho, where the sun was more than 99 percent blocked. At the White House, despite all the warnings from experts about the risk of eye damage, President Donald Trump took off his eclipse glasses and looked directly at the sun. Along the path of totality - the line of deep shadow created when the sun is completely obscured except for the ring of light known as the corona. The Nashville Zoo just to watch the animals' reaction and noticed how they got noisier at it got darker. Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois saw the longest stretch of darkness: 2 minutes and 44 seconds.

23 August 2017: A Canadian town says it will not remove swastikas from a public park because it has historical significance. In the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit, swastika means "well-being". The symbol has been used by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains for millennia and is commonly assumed to be an Indian sign. Early Western travellers to Asia were inspired by its positive and ancient associations and started using it back home. By the beginning of the 20th Century there was a huge fad for the swastika as a benign good luck symbol. Single swastikas began to appear in the Neolithic Vinca culture across south-eastern Europe around 7,000 years ago. But it's in the Bronze Age that they became more widespread across the whole of Europe. In the Museum's collection there are clay pots with single swastikas encircling their upper half which date back to around 4,000 years ago. When the Nazis occupied Kiev in World War Two they were so convinced that these pots were evidence of their own Aryan ancestors that they took them back to Germany. (They were returned after the war.)
