I wasn’t a super active website user, and just followed in YouTube but after I watched the video, I did two things.
First, I tested my backup/restore on my truenas.
Second, I joined the patreon and probably stick around for a bit. Everything good seems to ask me for money, and it’s exhausting but at the same time it’s $36 a year and I just won’t buy something I don’t really need at Costco this month and it’s covered.
This is the answer. The moon is passing through phases as it orbits and isn’t perfectly aligned so there will always be shading and color variations.
I’m posting this video because they animate the different types of eclipse and also explain why it’s red. So now it’s just understanding that everyone’s view is always “off to the side” so there is a gradient of color and brightness.
