Found this with a quick Google search. That's the ISS going by the Sun and Moon. It's already really big, so something would have to be even bigger to make an eclipse that big. A satellite in low orbit that is dozens of kilometers across is not feasible, and it wouldn't even make a very big shadow. I don't think solar sails will be anywhere near big enough because they are basically carrying tiny satellites at the moment, and unless you want to make one for the ISS, you're going to have to squint really hard. As for the orbit, it doesn't really matter as long as it occasionally makes a shadow across Earth's surface.

Good job! Ctrl+F is always a friend!

My secret has not been solved yet.

It's right there in the big block of numbers. I made sure it was there exactly once.

Yes it is. 0001000 is in there exactly once.

Acidalia Planitia...just cause... JK I would land somewhere with lots of riverbeds, or in the northern hemisphere where the ocean was. Those would be ideal places to look for evidence of ancient life. The best place would probably be the edge of a river delta as you get stuff carried from upstream and stuff from the ocean.

In Interstellar, one thing I noticed after watching it for like the third time was that when they were leaving Earth for Duna Mars they could see a full Earth out the window. From the transfer time (8 months) it seems like a Hohmann transfer, but that was definitely not a hohmann transfer for them to be seeing a full Earth at that distance. There must have been some secret Venus transfer they never told us about for that to work. In The Martian, one thing that really bothered me (besides the storm of course) was that after he fixed the hole from the airlock incident, the canvas was flapping all over the place during a storm. This shouldn't be possible without gas-giant scale winds with the puny Martian atmosphere. Since the Hab is far more pressurized that the outside, the canvas should have just blown up like a balloon and stayed that way. It was good plot-wise as it emphasized the danger of depressurization, but IRL it wouldn't actually flap that much if it wasn't already depressurized. Yes, I actually mixed up Mars and Duna. Really! I do it all the time. Mun/Moon, Mars/Duna, Jupiter/Jool, it's all the same.

I just thought of this one today: So my friend plays tuba, and he has a tuner, so that makes it a Tu-Na. Get it? It's a tuba...and a tuner...heh...heh......

Found it! Do I post a new secret right away, or do I have to wait for the poster to say it was the secret?

Well, if you're looking at it from a relativity standpoint, wherever you are is the center of the observable universe at any given moment. Everything that everyone else sees is relative to their position at the center of their observable universe. So in that way you could say that you are at the center of the universe. This is, however, regardless to the position of the Earth relative to you. So from an observational standpoint, you are at the center and everything else happens relative to you. If you look at it from a higher dimension, then everything in the universe is on the surface of a big expanding balloon of space, and there is no center. I suppose the scientists are referring to the effects of relativity on an observer mentioned above. As for a Kerbocentric universe, that would basically be like any geocentric model, but with Kerbin and the other KSP planets.
