Oct. 14 Radio Eclipse (VIDEO)
Caption
Observation of the Oct. 14 solar eclipse approaching the maximum occultation, recorded by Owens Valley Radio Observatory - Long Wavelength Array (OVRO-LWA). The visible solar disk and the occulting lunar limb are outlined by the solid and dotted circles, respectively. Notably, the radio sun occasionally distorts due to the refraction of radio waves by the fluctuating ionosphere, an effect reminiscent of viewing the sun under a rippling water surface. As the video begins during sunrise, such distortions are particularly evident in the early moments.
