2017 #TotalSolarEclipse Data from homemade Solar-X device:
All the sensors: Temperature, Visible, Infrared, UV and Solar power output registered a dip during the Solar Eclipse with peak dips during Totality.
Visible light dropped: 35%
Infrared: 87.5%
Solar Power Output: 95%

Solar Cell Output showed the most variation. It dipped gradually at first and then started dipping drastically as Totality neared.
We concluded that a major portion of the Sun had to be covered by the Moon before human eyes notice any measurable change.

Temperature Change during #TotalSolarEclipse:
Temperature prior to Eclipse (first contact) was 34°C. The temperature readings were slowly rising before the eclipse.
But 1h 20 min into the eclipse, it started dipping. At totality, the temperature had dropped 10%, to 30.5°C.

Starting from #Asteroids and #Exoplanets where we shared the Research behind our #SpaceRex project (for Asteroid Detection using #ArtificialIntelligence) and #TRAPPIST1 project (where large Resonant Chains which provide stability to this Exoplanetary system), we move to our Sun!
We wondered if Astronomers can find planets around stars 1000s of light years using Transit Method (dip in star's brightness because of orbiting planets) could we use this method on our parent Star- the Sun?

Solar eclipses happen when Moon's shadow falls on the Earth as it passes between us and the Sun.
On 21 Aug 2017, Moon would pass between Sun and the Earth, appearing to block the Sun for almost 90 mins.
We wanted to measure dip in Sun's Brightness during this Transit Event.
