What I'm trying to get my head around is that the image on my screen shows the 'bite' to have been taken out of the sun in the bottom right quarter. Everyone else's shows the bite in top left - I understand this is because my device is effectively a pin-hole camera, which inverts the image. Everyone else's image is from a conventional camera. How come Wowbagger's image shows the flare of the sun with the bite taken out of the bottom right quarter?
D's eclipse shot got contrailed too…
It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.

I've no idea what a phone camera does to images.I used to sleep in a pinhole camera. My bedroom, in my second year at college, had curtains which didn't quite meet at the top. On bright sunny mornings, an inverted image of the houses opposite appeared on the wall above my bed.

Kim, you are very bad!

Sloppy article about 2023 DZ2: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/mar/24/city-killer-asteroid-to-pass-harmlessly-between-earth-and-moonMore to the point, it's only going to miss Earth by 19 hours.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_DZ2Quote[a] If 2023 DZ2 had been arriving approximately 19 hours later it would have impacted into Earth as that is where the two orbits intersect.
