Conspiracy theories prove the Sun and Moon may not be aligned
Conspiracy theorists claim that a solar eclipse is not what scientists say it is. In a video posted on social media, a woman says that “the sun is not where it should be.” During the day, the video was rated positively by 2 thousand people, and the public immediately had questions about the likelihood of a conspiracy theory.
On April 8th, for the first time since 2017, the Moon, Earth and Sun will briefly align, leading to full solar eclipse Scientists can predict eclipses based on the movements of the planets.
Recall that an eclipse — one of the many reasons why flat earth claims are nonsense.
On the afternoon of April 8, a total solar eclipse will occur over the United States, following a narrow path across 13 states from Texas to Maine. Millions of people are expected to flock outside to see the celestial event.
The total solar eclipse will only last a few minutes and will not cause “days of darkness.” The longest will be over Mexico and will be 4 minutes 28 seconds, and in New York state it will last only 1–1/2 minutes.
“Eclipses— these are special configurations of these celestial bodies that can be identified by a computer, — NASA experts explain. — Current eclipse forecasts are accurate to less than a minute for hundreds of years.
The April 8 eclipse is not «man-made,» scientists say. or in any way unusual for eclipses, as stated on the social network.
This celestial phenomenon occurs at predictable, albeit relatively long, intervals. NASA has maps of all eclipses, past and future, over a 5,000-year period from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, during which more than 11,000 eclipses of all types will occur.
Next total The solar eclipse will occur on August 12, 2026, although it will only be visible in Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia and a small part of Portugal. The next total solar eclipse, which will move from coast to coast in the Southern 48 states, will occur in 2045.
Looking at the Sun during an eclipse can cause «eclipse blindness.» Regular sunglasses will not provide enough protection.
«Unfortunately, sunglasses are not enough because they need to be 1000 times darker than regular sunglasses, — ophthalmologist Nicole Badzik told ABC News. — So, we're specifically looking for eclipse glasses, and they have a special filter called ISO 12312&rdash;2».
According to NASA, you should wear a special sun filter when viewing through a telescope or through a camera lens.
