Description
So the eclipse yesterday made me think: "Boy, I wonder if moon themed heroes have eclipse forms? That'd be neat!" and then I stopped myself from making an anime re-color and did this instead ^^'
I've been in an artistic funk for basically the whole summer? Yeah. College really burnt me out, and for a while, I haven't been finding much joy in what I create. This piece isn't much of an exception, but it certainly started off fun, so that's something, right? There's a little bit of summer left for me to make some stuff that I want to, so I'll be utilizing that time to hopefully gain my love for art back, or renew it. I'm just happy that for now, I made something.

In terms of Sailor Moon, an eclipse from Earth is Usagi blocking out the light, so you'd see a silhouette. As for exploring other planets, that's Mamoru touching the others. A bit lewd if you ask me!
Did you get to see totality?

I did not actually! But I had the special glasses, so I got to see the sun almost fully covered, there was about a sliver of the sun left. It was super cool! How about you?

I actually did not see the eclipse, as I am in the UK. But my icon picture is of a solar eclipse in 2015. Conditions were perfect; cool, crisp, clear morning on a low hill with a nice easterly view. Eclipse began, reached maximum extent, and even though it was already cold, it went colder, light went dim, and an eerie shroud fell over the land. Roughly 30 minutes after fourth contact (end of the eclipse), the clouds rolled in and stayed there all day. It was amazing. 2012 gave Tokyo itself an Annular solar eclipse, May 20th I believe it was.Β
www.timeanddate.com is a most useful site for solar and lunar eclipses, as well as transits. A transit is when Mercury or Venus passes in front of the Sun from our POV here on Earth. Mercury has 12 - 15 transits per 100 years; the last was in 2016, the next is in 2019 (I saw the 2016 one, but don't expect miracles, Mercury is teeny tiny). Venus is nearer and larger, but the next Venus transit is not until 2117; they tend to occur in pairs. And if you wanna be REALLY greedy or cheeky, the next eclipse to happen during a transit of Mercury is in 6757, the next eclipse to happen during a transit of Venus is in 15232, and the next SIMULTANEOUS transit of both Mercury and Venus is in 69163! Don't hold your breath. In addition, transits and eclipses can be seen from Mars. Have a looksie!
