Eclipse is nice, but it has corners which don't make sense.

Since ancient times, likely Turbo Pascal, I want the most important operation of an editor be on the F1. I couldn't care less for it to be Help😒. Every editor I got hold of got reconfigured to save the current file with F1.

And when editors started to allow many open files, Shift-F1 saves them all.

Except Eclipse: It allows to rebind F1, but the crapper insists to open Help with Shift-F1.😡

50 years ago today, at 16:09 UTC on 17 July 1975, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project culminated in the first docking of the spacecraft - but afterwards an interesting experiment took place: after they separated again Apollo (the final one; no number) occulted the Sun from the point of view of Soyuz 19. Images obtained show mostly outgassing from Apollo forward-scattering light from the hidden Sun but allegedly there is also some outer corona in the images of which esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/ shows one with a negative caption. The planned artificial #eclipse experiment was described in the mission press kit nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/st on PDF pages 37-39 and the outcome is discussed in the didactical NASA brochure ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19 on PDF pages 20-27; there is apparently also a more technical paper in a mission science report but I couldn't find that one online.

A Ring of Fire Sunrise Solar Eclipse

Explanation:
What's rising above the horizon behind those clouds? It's the Sun. Most sunrises don't look like this, though, because most sunrises don't include the Moon. In the early morning of 2013 May 10, however, from Western Australia, the Moon was between the Earth and the rising Sun. At times, it would be hard for the uninformed to understand what was happening. In an annular eclipse, the Moon is too far from the Earth to block the entire Sun, and at most leaves a ring of fire where sunlight pours out around every edge of the Moon. The featured time-lapse video also recorded the eclipse through the high refraction of the Earth's atmosphere just above the horizon, making the unusual rising Sun and Moon appear also flattened. As the video continues on, the Sun continues to rise, and the Sun and Moon begin to separate. This weekend, a new annular solar eclipse will occur, visible from central Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and a narrow band across Asia, with much of Earth's Eastern hemisphere being able to see a partial solar eclipse.

** Note by grobi:
"To upload this video, I converted it and compressed it to a smaller file-size under #linux with the free software ffmpeg and the corresponding command:

'ffmpeg -i video_in.mkv -vcodec libx265 -crf 28 video_out.mp4'

Maybe you would like to post a corresponding video on a scientifically related topic, but it is perhaps too big? Then try ffmpeg."

Moon Mountains Magnified during Ring of Fire Eclipse

Explanation:
What are those dark streaks in this composite image of a solar eclipse? They are reversed shadows of mountains at the edge of the Moon. The center image, captured from Xiamen, China, has the Moon's center directly in front of the Sun's center. The Moon, though, was too far from the Earth to completely block the entire Sun. Light that streamed around the edges of the Moon is called a ring of fire. Images at each end of the sequence show sunlight that streamed through lunar valleys. As the Moon moved further in front of the Sun, left to right, only the higher peaks on the Moon's perimeter could block sunlight. Therefore, thehttps://defcon.social/@grobi/114663418339078163 dark streaks are projected, distorted, reversed, and magnified shadows of mountains at the Moon's edge. Bright areas are called Baily's Beads. Only people in a narrow swath across Earth's Eastern Hemisphere were able to view this full annular solar eclipse in 2020. Next month, though, a narrow swath crossing both North and South America will be exposed to the next annular solar eclipse. And next April, a total solar eclipse will be visible across North America.

Dear Emacs/Java Fediverse,

I'm setting up `lsp-mode` and `lsp-java` in Emacs for the first time (don't ask) and it looks like the latter only supports Eclipse's LSP implementation, which of course, being Eclipse, poops out a whole bunch of extra settings files all off the source file tree when it first runs.

If I wanted to use a bad IDE like Eclipse I'd just use that, I really don't want it's little setting file turds littering the repo (Gradle is bad enough).

Is there any of: a) An alternative LSP server for Java that is supported somehow, or b) A way to make lsp-java/Eclipse read all of the extensive declared configuration in Gradle's config and hence not need to duplicate that in a billion places?

Help a hacker out here please!

A Partial Solar Eclipse over Iceland

Explanation:
What if the Sun and Moon rose together? That happened yesterday over some northern parts of planet Earth as a partial solar eclipse occurred shortly after sunrise. Regions that experienced the Moon blocking part of the Sun included northeastern parts of North America and northwestern parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The featured image was captured yesterday over the Grábrók volcanic crater in Iceland where much of the Sun became momentarily hidden behind the Moon. The image was taken through a cloudy sky but so well planned that the photographer's friend appeared to be pulling the Sun out from behind the Moon. No part of the Earth experienced a total solar eclipse this time. In the distant past, some of humanity was so surprised when an eclipse occurred that ongoing battles suddenly stopped. Today, eclipses are not a surprise and are predicted with an accuracy of seconds.

This is really impressive!

A pair of European satellites have created the first artificial solar eclipses by flying in precise and fancy formation, providing hours of on-demand totality for scientists.

"It’s an intricate, prolonged dance requiring extreme precision by the cube-shaped spacecraft. Their flying accuracy needs to be within a mere millimeter, the thickness of a fingernail."

AP News · Solar eclipse on-demand: How two satellites are mimicking totality in spaceA pair of European satellites have created the first artificial solar eclipses through precise and fancy formation flying. The result is hours of on-demand totality for scientists. The European Space Agency released the eclipse pictures Monday. Launched late last year, the two spacecraft have produced 10 solar eclipses so far. They're still in the checkout phase of the mission, with scientific observations yet to begin. But scientists are already thrilled and anticipate nearly 200 total solar eclipses over the next two years, each one lasting several hours.
