Click For Summary
The January 4th, 2010 eclipse was captured in photographs, despite cloudy conditions that aided visibility. The photographer used an EOS camera with a long lens, resulting in slightly cropped images that altered the Sun's angular size. Some dots appearing in one photo were not visible in another, leading to uncertainty about their origin. The photographer shared their images, indicating a 45% coverage of the eclipse from Iran. The discussion highlights the challenges and techniques involved in photographing solar eclipses.

Dots on the first picture look like a dirt, no idea what they are as they are not visible on the second one.

Thread 'Population 3 star (Pop III) candidate LAP1'

"Pop III stars are thought to be composed entirely of helium and hydrogen with trace amounts of lithium, the ingredients left over after the Big Bang. They formed early on, around 200 million years after the universe began. These stars are extremely rare because they died out long ago, although scientists have hoped that the faint light from these distant, ancient objects would be detectable. Previous Population III candidates have been ruled out because they didn't meet the three main...
