You need to turn on ambient occlusion. That should fix it.

This happens twice a year anywhere between the tropics of cancer and capricorn. It’s called Lahaina Noon in Hawaii.

P.S. If you happen to live between the tropics you can look for subsolar calculators to figure out which days this will happen for you. For me this happens in early april and september since i’m fairly close to the equator. If you’re close to the tropics the subsolar days will be closer to the solstice.

New bucket list goal: See this.

Will add it to seeing a total eclipse and seeing the Northern Lights with cool sky phenomenon I want to see.

New goal: see a total solar eclipse during lahaina noon during a period of peak sunspot activity to get some equatorial aurora and just after a water-rich meteorites disintegrated in the upper atmosphere, creating a blanked of ice crystals.

Is that so much to ask? No clouds, ideally.

Woo! Group trip!

Also, for anyone else like me who’s dumb and didn’t know what Diamond Dust is. I guess it’s like ice crystals glittering in the air at ground level. There’s a cool video in the Wikipedia article. Image searches just kept bringing up literal diamond dust lol.

Saw both a total eclipse and Northern lights this year. Lived up to the hype. Totally worth it.

I’ve been fortunate enough to see a Lahaina moon and a total solar eclipse and both were very cool. Total Solar Eclipse was 1000x better though.

There’s a ton of evidence, thousands of years known, for a sphere-ish Earth. These missing shadows aren’t Team Globe though.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
