Summer solstice solar eclipse seen in Nairobi (7:47, maximum eclipse, elongation 10')
The summer solstice solar eclipse that I recently introduced on my blog.
Fortunately, the sky was clear and I was able to see it in Nairobi, so this time I will talk about that.
Introducing the state of the solar eclipse observed by the caretaker.
The summer solstice solar eclipse introduced in the previous blog.
When I wrote about the weather on my blog, it seemed cloudy and I didn't write it.
Even if it looks like this, the caretaker is quite lucky.
I was worried about the weather because it was cloudy every day in Nairobi.
Fortunately, on the day of the eclipse, although I was worried that the clouds sometimes blocked the sun, it was almost clear during the solar eclipse.
The missing sun that emerged from the eastern sky on the day of the summer solstice solar eclipse
As of this writing, the solar eclipse is still in progress in Japan.
The shadow of the moon, which hides the sun, slowly moves from Nairobi to Japan.
Even the shadow of the moon fluttering in outer space, the day of the new moon, usually passes above and below the earth, so it does not easily intersect with the earth.
If you meet straight, it will be a total solar eclipse or a golden crown eclipse.
But it rarely happens.
On the day of the summer solstice eclipse, the face is exposed from the eastern sky and dimmed with the D850, 85mm lens, and gelatin filter ND4 during interval shooting.
This time, neither Kenya nor Japan crossed straight, but the shadows partially crossed the earth, which was the day of the summer solstice.
Even with a partial solar eclipse, it is very rare for a solar eclipse to occur on the day of the summer solstice.
The moon travels an average of 384,400 kilometers from Earth.
Its orbit is an elliptical orbit, which is not always constant and moves closer or further away.
If you get the closest, you can break 360,000 kilometers.
When the moon reaches the full moon when it approaches, it is called a super moon.
At the farthest point, it is more than 400,000 kilometers away.
The difference in the distance of this month causes a total solar eclipse and a ring eclipse.
The difference between the distance is about 10% when it is far and when it is near.
Is it big or small?
Expressed in an easy-to-understand manner
If the moon when it is far away is a volleyball (diameter 20 cm), the moon when it is near is the size of a soccer ball (diameter 22 cm).
The difference is like this.
Also, if you compare the size of the moon to a volleyball with a diameter of 20 cm,
The distance from the earth to the moon is 20.7 meters at the closest supermoon and 23 meters at the farthest.
It's easy to think of a volleyball floating in a 25-meter pool.
It's a little over 2 meters towards the edge of the pool, just like the ball moves.
There's a lot of noise in the "Supermoon" media, but I don't think I've dealt with it much.
There are only smaller things such as the material that the manager picks up.
Well, if you're trying to write about a solar eclipse, "Super Moon" doesn't really matter.
The moon is revolving and gradually moving away from the earth.
So, in the distant future, I started talking about connecting to such a thing that the total solar eclipse could not be seen from the earth ...
This time, the partial solar eclipse has nothing to do with it, so I'll leave the introduction here.
For this solar eclipse, I set the camera on a tripod and took pictures at intervals.
I can't go out freely at any time, so I took a picture from the roof of my apartment. Missing sun

Change of solar eclipse every 3 minutes from home in Nairobi
It is hidden by clouds in several places, but you can see how the solar eclipse is changing.
It is a state of change of the solar eclipse every 3 minutes.
The solar eclipse seen this time in Nairobi starts at sunrise in the morning, so it starts from the bottom of the photo.
Nairobi is on Earth, just south of the equator, in the Southern Hemisphere.
Therefore, the movement of the sun rises slightly to the left.
This time, I used an 85mm lens to take a wide shot so that I could see the changes in the wide range of the solar eclipse.
The shooting method is as posted in the previous blog.
The sun that began to disappear with the sunrise,
The sun came out of the building at the bottom of the screen just after 7 o'clock.
The sun at the top of the photo, near the end of the solar eclipse, is at 8:47.
1 minute before the end of the solar eclipse, 8:57:50 am
The end of the chip that I confirmed on my watch was 8:58:43.
Today is the summer solstice, the sun rises from the north, and from tomorrow the sun will gradually move south.
Such a solar eclipse on the summer solstice is a phenomenon that cannot be seen again by living people.
Next time will be 800 years later.
This time, I was very happy to be able to see almost everything from the beginning to the end of the solar eclipse.
The whole family, including the children, was able to enjoy the solar eclipse using the solar eclipse glass.
A phenomenon woven by the orbital motion of planets and satellites.
Occasionally, they show us interesting shows like this one.
I was able to feel a little happy by being present at the moment when a solar eclipse rarely occurs at the summer solstice like this time.
that! You can't see the sunspots, right?

Until the end Thank you for reading.
