We should be able to keep the Hubble working also. We have the money, just keep the orange idiot in Washington, D.C. for a couple of weeks.

They really should build a duplicate just like it for the next 30 years!
I've read from many sources that when the Hubble was built another one was made for the U.S. Air Force and obviously not doing much astronomy.
@StellarAmor75 any of them legit though?

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
