... 2001 September 15 . Eclipsed Moon in Infrared . ... Explanation: The total lunar eclipse of September 1996 disappointed many observers in North America who were cursed with cloudy skies. However, the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) satellite had a spectacular view from Earth orbit and SPIRIT III , an onboard infrared telescope, was used to repeatedly image the moon during the eclipse . ... The bright spots correspond to the warm areas on the lunar surface, dark areas are cooler. ...

... The Scientist's Expert Assistant (SEA) is a prototype effort for the Next Generation Space Telescope that uses a combination of artificial intelligence and user interface techniques to explore ways to substantially reduce the time and effort involved in proposal preparation for both scientists and the telescope operations staff. ... At the time, SEA supported only a single observation, had the basics of a graphical exposure calculator and a visual target tuner, and had a very limited expert system. ...

... The March 20 total solar eclipse was visible over the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. ... Solar eclipses are of interest for radio astronomy, as they make it possible to observe individual details on the solar disc (spots, filaments, flocculi, etc.) ... On March 20, 2015 the integrated observations of the solar eclipse were carried out at the RATAN-600 radio telescope at 70 wavelengths simultaneously in the range of 1.65cm to 10cm with the 1% frequency resolution. ...

... This year's eclipse is unique in duration. ... Although, at the present time, there are 6 solar observatories belonging to leading space agencies in orbit around the Earth, the eclipse of 22 July, 2009, will only be seen by two of them: the Russian CORONAS-PHOTON satellite equipped with TESIS telescopes and Japan's HINODE satellite fitted with an XRT space telescope. ... TESIS will be the first of the two devices (and the very first on Earth) to witness the solar eclipse. ...
