Registrace 14. 03. 2020
From the 1920's through the 1950's, a woman named Charlie Mary Noble taught math at Paschal High School, celestial navigation to US Navy pilots during WWII at TCU, and astronomy to children at the Fort Worth Children's Museum (now the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History.) She built a dome and basic planetarium in her backyard and showed the marvels of the night sky to countless young people in Fort Worth. Today, the museum's planetarium is named in her honor.
In 1947 she formed the Junior Astronomy Club, one of the first amateur astronomy clubs in the United States. So many parents came with their children to these meetings, that in 1949 an adult society was organized and the Fort Worth Astronomical Society (FWAS) was born.

Mantenerse seguro durante el eclipse solar total del 8 de abril de 2024
El 8 de abril de 2024, un eclipse solar total será visible a lo largo de una trayectoria estrecha desde la costa del Pacífico de México, a través de Texas y Arkansas, a través de Indiana y Ohio, antes de cruzar dos de los Grandes Lagos y el oeste y norte de Nueva York, Nueva Inglaterra. y Maine antes de atravesar las provincias marítimas de Canadá. La mayor parte del resto de América del Norte verá algún tipo de eclipse parcial.
A la espera del buen tiempo, transmitiremos en vivo el eclipse desde cerca de la línea central en el norte de Texas.

Es importante mantenerse seguro mientras observa y disfruta del evento, porque las lesiones en los ojos por mirar al sol pueden ser permanentes y debilitantes.
Sólo durante unos minutos por el camino de la totalidad se mira con seguridad el sol. En cualquier otro lugar y en cualquier otro momento, nunca es seguro mirar directamente al Sol sin protección ocular especializada diseñada para la observación solar.
Si no tiene gafas para eclipses o un visor solar portátil, se pueden utilizar métodos de visualización indirecta, como cámaras estenopeicas, que no implican mirar directamente al Sol.
No importa cuán oscuras sean o si estén polarizadas, las gafas de sol normales no son seguras para ver el sol bajo ninguna condición. Los visores solares seguros son miles de veces más oscuros que cualquier gafas de sol y deben cumplir con la norma internacional ISO 12312-2. Asegúrese de que los visores que tiene estén marcados como corregidos y no estén rayados, tengan agujeros ni estén dañados de ninguna manera.

I've always been suspicious of Antares and this has proven me right. Antares is blatantly in cahoots with globers and luna. Your video shows it is in an occult pact with the moon to deceive people that the earth isn't flat. How much did you spend bribing Antares to deliver this paid actor performance?
Without the sun nothing would exist in our solar system. The sun is the foundation of our existence. Our planet, plants, animals, food on our plates, gasoline for our cars, and humans exist thanks to the sun. It's truly incredible.
The Gravitational forces in the Universe are astounding!!!
Very good presentation. Do you have details on the rig used to capture the timelapse posted somewhere? Since I am currently in the market for some new H- Alpha equipment (as someone said on a forum - Solar is where you buy a tube with glass ends and fill it with money) I am curious about which scope and camera.
Lunt80 Ha scope. ZWO ASI183MM-Pro camera Skywatcher SolarQuest mount.
@@FortWorthAstronomicalSociety Thanks very much. I have a Lunt 60mm double stack on order and have been wondering about the capability of the SolarQuest as the 11 lb capacity was a bit of a concern. I added the Solar Quest to my order based on the hope it would be ok after seeing it used with a smaller scope. Since I ordered it I have talked myself in and out of it several times lol. If it can carry your Lunt 80 then things should be good. Have you upgraded the tripod or left it stock?
@@antiquegeek The tripod is stock. I leave a battery on the bottom tray for more stability. The clutch needs to be fixed - it is a cardboard disk that will eventually fail. You can replace it yourself with better paperboard or felt for more friction. This was single-stacked for faster exposures, but double-stacked has more contrast.
Great Job Thanks Chris for the hard work and including us homebound astronomers to see the new site.
😮
Charles messier nos dejo mucho en la astronomia
La astronomia es bella es muy fascinante
This just showed up on my feed. Very cool timelapse!
How could anyone dislike this video??? Breathtaking!!!
Strange there is no visible rotation yet you see CMEs.
If you look carefully, you can see the rotation on the zoomed-in edge views, from left to right. There are no coronal mass ejections visible in this short timelapse. Afterwards, there was one from the prom in the SW edge.
me imagino que habras publicado en algun sitio las imagenes procesadas, la verdad que con lo que pude rescatar del video hay muy buena informacion!!!!
Great stream today! I skimmed through it but will watch the whole thing at some point.
The cheering everywhere was the best part ❤
This was really good! We got some gaps in the skies especially around totality which was glorious to look at ❤
Excellent video. Very informative. Thank you 🌒
It's gonna be the warmest day in awhile. So I can't do my hours of biking, walking and lifting weights outside, because the eclipse glasses will make me to blind to see.😪😪 To my understanding it's like 4 hours of time.
Forgive me if your comment is satire, but I suppose it can't hurt to point out that you can go about your normal activities on the day of the solar eclipse. The sun is no more harmful than usual. The only danger is in looking directly at the sun - something you naturally avoid doing every day of your life. Eclipse glasses are only necessary while you're actually looking at the uncovered or partially covered sun.
Great .... I was feeling scared but still I enjoyed watching it. I'm totally an ignorant in astronomy and astrophysics but somehow out of my deep interests in the study of anything infinite (e.g., our grand creation), I once joined a course in Birla Planetarium, Kolkata for it was offered to people like us from different backgrounds and my experience was amazing. I don't have a telescope but once we were taken to a remote village, far away from Kolkata for enjoying a star-party (they called it) and there the sky was clear enough to see the celestial objects through the telescope and we enjoyed our deep sky observation along the whole night. At the end, we were sharing our experiences and someone said very beautifully that till then he only had an idea that in case of ocean, there were deeper levels of its existence but it was beyond his imagination that even the sky also has such deeper (or farther probably) levels of existence. In fact, in case of an ocean it's finite but in case of sky, it's vastness is extended to infinity. I was reading all the comments here and I was feeling happy to see that i could connect with many of the concepts. Thank you. 🙏🙋
What you're looking at is a single wavelength of light being observed from the Sun called Hydrogen Alpha aka H(α) ( which is 656.3 nanometers in the EM spectrum ). It's basically a way to get around the intense white light washing out all the details of the Sun that you'd normally get from a regular white light solar filter. With a H(α) filter, all the " glare " gets blocked so you can see the full details of the Sun's surface features along with the prominences and plasma activity in the magnetic field lines. The only time you can observe prominences or particles following magnetic field lines in the Sun's atmosphere with no filter is during a Total Solar Eclipse.
Excellent presentation, Chris. It's quite obvious how much time and thought went into making this video. Well worth sharing even outside of Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Superb presentations!! Subscribed!
im a new astrophotographer, i have a setup similar to this but don't get anywhere near this quality, is there somebody i could talk to on how to improve my setup/process? im in the dfw area
There are many in our club who do solar imaging. Meetings are at 7pm on the third Tuesday of the month at the UNT Health Science Center Research and Education building, 1055 Montgomery St, Fort Worth, TX 76107. This was done with the Lunt 80mm. Make sure your etalon is tuned. I use a mono camera, 0 gain, 2.5ms to 5ms, depending on the sun's altitude. Focus on the edge of the limb first. Open the tuner, crank it all the way down, then open it back up slowly to about half-way. Stop when you get see a lot of contrast. I record an SER for 1 minute, then repeat over and over to get the timelapse. Stack each SER and take the best 5-25% of the images. Then process as you like. I have some action in Photoshop I use for automating hundreds of frames for color and clarity.
@@FortWorthAstronomicalSocietyAwesome! I am in Richardson myself and just ordered an Lunt 40!
Thank you for the very useful information!
Very helpful video. Do you have a recommended link or contact for where we can order those ISO certified eclipse shades? I don't fully trust Amazon or products made in China.
I added links to the manufacturers in the description and a list of resellers.
@@FortWorthAstronomicalSociety Awesome, I appreciate the follow up! Just picked up a few pairs from Rainbow Symphony!
Great video! Thanks!! 🙏
6:38 this is very interesting - thank you for highlighting this point.
This is a great PSA. I have a pair of Eclipse Binoculars for this event.
Very, very well done. Thanks for putting this together.
Dose no body see all the faces on the sun pictures on the soho all the time xxits the sprit realm V xxlove love from new zealand 🇳🇿 xx 🇳🇿
This is beautifully stunning
Some people said the real sun colour is white. is that true?
The sun's color is white, to our eyes. But we classify it as a "yellow dwarf" based on the temperature. For these images, we color them yellow or reddish so that our eyes are better able to see the contrast. For hydrogen-alpha images, the color really is a deep red, even deeper than the color we tend to use for aesthetics.
I would rather see it in real time. Why does everything from the Aurora to solar videos have to be sped up? It's as if nobody has any patience for the natural speed and beauty of our world anymore.
The realtime view is rather boring. It takes minutes to see changes happening, so slowly that we just realize something is different well after the event happens. The actual velocities are quite large, but the scale of the sun is even larger. An analogy is watching a hurricane from space. The winds are fierce at ground level near the eye, but from far away, the motion is barely perceptible, and only with a timelapse do some motions and patterns become obvious to us. Incidentally, there are a number of aurora videos that are not timelapses at all, but in realtime. Most people do not even realize it because we just expect the apparent motion is "supposed" to be slow.
@@FortWorthAstronomicalSociety Thank you. I know I'm unusual but barely perceptible is what I want, because it's 'real'. We've all seen time-lapse vids of plants dancing as they grow, but if one is very still, you can see it in real time, and I used to watch it (my sunflower greens, indoors/ no significant air movement), but you just have to be still and patient. Again, not for everyone, but call it an exercise in stillness.
You can actually see your plants grow? You must have some serious autism.
@@MountainMetaldo you watch paint dry too
@@REMdonor No, but I sometimes watch plants dance as they grow, normally only seen in time-lapse. It requires an unusually still mind, and body... and still air, of course.
It burn your xxx 😮 😂
Beautiful. (It looks like an orange one wd eagerly eat !!!).
Great video!
The sun is not that big.Some suns are millions of time bigger.And they are silent. It is very strange .
I think the smaller the star, the more active it is unless it’s a white dwarf or black dwarf (fully dead star with no fuel left)
I once had a Coronado PST, but your detailed video is reminiscent of filming with large scientific telescopes!
I recognize the video from Goddard

The awesome power. How is this not our God? F the priests
This is awesome … and a little frightening. Please do more of this!!
Yes, I was also feeling it beautifully frightening.
Really well done, and great capture. I have the same scope and have not gotten such detail as you have shown here. I'll blame the jet stream for my poor results (or more likely pilot error). could you say what camera you have and what Barlow if any? Congrats!

The Sun controls earths climate period! But experts blame cow farts 🐄💨
The earth's climate is dependent on many things, not only the solar flux. Greenhouse gases are a major factor in the average temperature of the planet. We can see this through geologic records, especially during the Snowball Earth periods, the Oxygen Crisis, etc. The End Ordovician extinction event had the uplift of the Appalachians, an increase in weathering and flow of minerals into the oceans, blooms of the plankton of the time, and sequestration of CO2 in their shells, changing the chemistry of the atmosphere and the oceans. The Late Devonian extinction event was caused by the growth and diversification of land plants, sequestering CO2 and generating rapid and severe global cooling. The End Permian extinction event was due to massive volcanic activity in Siberia. This caused global warming from elevated CO2 and sulfur (H2S) levels from volcanoes, leading to ocean acidification, acid rain, and other changes in ocean and land chemistry. The End Triassic extinction event was due to enderwater volcanic activity in the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) caused global warming and a dramatic change in the chemical composition of the oceans. End Cretaceous extinction event was due to the asteroid impact in Yucatán, Mexico, causing a global cataclysm and rapid cooling. Some changes may have already pre-dated this asteroid, with intense volcanic activity and tectonic uplift. Our planet is a complex system that is stable only in the short term, and is easily destabilized when just one or two variables are changed.
@@FortWorthAstronomicalSociety We we’re giving the short version comment, lol, you have good info there, However, the politics and fake msm news is brutal. Ie) carbon capture trying to lower C02 on earth reduces Plants and vegetation etc food growth. There already is a food shortage on earth in many regions. Plus we’re going into a mini ice ice age due to grand solar minimum. Suspicious Observers channel if you want some info on that subject

I've watched videos on stacking planetary pictures for like Saturn and what not. How do you get motion aka make videos? Neat video btw.
Each frame is 1 minute of stacked images, then the frames were stitched into a sequence.
Sound issues?
Outstanding!!!!
I've seen many videos of the Sun, and a reason why i keep looking is : I'M TRYING TO , MENTALLY, GRASP WHAT IT IS !!! AND HOW IT STAYS TOGETHER (they say it's just a Giant ball of Nuclear Gas(s) )
Stars are a balance between fusion energy trying to blow the star apart, and gravity trying to squeeze it together into a tiny point. The stars burn until there is an imbalance.
А потом нам говорят что в газовом шаре Солнце образовалась большая трещина. Как в газовом шаре может образоваться трещина? Это возможно только на твёрдой поверхности. Они сами не знают что такое солнце..
