Where Will You Be When the Sun Vanishes?

Celestial Drama: The Sun's Disappearing Act Across the Northern Skies

Where Will You Be When the Sun Vanishes?

On the 20th, something extraordinary will happen in the sky: the Sun will disappear from view. Depending on where you are in the world, you might witness a spectacular partial eclipse or even a total eclipse if you’re in the Faroe Islands. For many, this event will be marked by a supermoon moving in front of the Sun and blocking it from view.

The lucky folks in the Faroe Islands will see the Sun vanish from the sky at 9:41 AM. This total eclipse will also be visible from Svalbard, just a bit later in the morning. Even if you’re on a ship in the North Atlantic, you’ll catch this amazing phenomenon.

Most of us in Europe, North Africa, and western Asia will get to see a vast partial eclipse. To give you some timings: in Greenland, the peak of the eclipse will be at 6:30 AM. In Algiers, it will be around 10:11 AM. If you’re in Istanbul, look up just before midday, and in Moscow, the peak will be at 1:20 PM in the afternoon.

I’ll be enjoying the eclipse from my home in the UK at around 9:30 AM with my special eclipse glasses to ensure I watch it safely without damaging my eyes. It’s crucial never to look directly at the Sun without proper protection. I hope you’ll join me in witnessing this fantastic celestial event!

Quantum Chaos: How Tiny Fluctuations May Shape Our Universe

Quantum mechanics challenges the butterfly effect. Research shows quantum systems are resilient to small disturbances, unlike classical systems. This no-butterfly effect involves entanglement, where qubits maintain information despite disruptions. It has implications for quantum computing, information security, and our understanding of reality. While fascinating, the idea of quantum fluctuations shaping our universe remains speculative.
