Here is an image of earthshine at totality. 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!

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.)
