you can google search for other sources. My settings are quite high and I did not get an alert from this site. sciencealert dot com is benign but you be safe.
@Lukian don't often get this alert, but scares the shit when the message comes up
@magicwatch I understand.
@Lukian yep confirm independent source. this may be deeper than we think. P.S. tried the link again, but did not get a warning this time,.....but a link to an antivirus program ???
@magicwatch seems your browser may be infected instead.
@Lukian thanks, will run scan
I'm actively checking with my NM Astronomer friends... I hope the FBI doesn't come after them if they tell me... or after me! LOL
In the meantime...

I've been reading about this on Reddit. I've noted it's proximity to a few military installations, though I've only heard of the FBI being involved.

conspiracy rumor alert: seems that the antennae array of the observatory was hacked by the Chinese to spy on the US Army nearby missile bases.
@Lukian This is an interesting rumor. However, the Chinese may be even more efficient in other matters. For example - The controversial, proposed 30 Meter Telescope (TMT) project that astronomers want to build in Hawai'i, but that is presently slowed by litigation, has as one of its participants - Can you guess? - yes - China! If TMT's permit is approved by the Hawai'i Supreme Court - then China won't have to do any spying - it'll be one of the boys! Shall the secrets and technology be shared?

Posted by starwatcher-alSolar minimum was in 2019 so the sun is ramping up in flares, spots and prominences.
Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
