Hello folks!

Experiments with the solar eclipse on July 22, 1990 resulted in some strange displays, which I have documented in the screenshots below.

I wanted to find out by experimenting when and where the eclipse could be seen. To do this, I fixed the sun in view and opened the settings for date/time and location.
For example, when I gradually changed the latitude values, the sun suddenly came to be in front of the moon:

In another experiment, I gradually changed the time as the moon moved away from the sun, but the marked lunar landscapes remained with the sun:

Version: 24.1 Qt5
Windows 10
All graphic drivers are up to date!

Best regards!

Hello

For both issues I completely deactivated the atmosphere and the ground and was able to reproduce both again...

Would you check the behavior when Stellarium running with —low-graphics option?

Yes, with this option the phemoma also occurs:

Unbenannt

Here's the procedure:

  1. Select and center the sun
  2. Set the date/time, re-center the sun if necessary
  3. Hide atmosphere and ground
  4. Open location
  5. Zoom in to the Sun & Moon
  6. Increase / decrease latitude until the moon moves away from the sun's disk: The moon-formation labels remain in place (maybe just their position needs to be updated when the location on Earth changes?)

I could no longer quickly reproduce the behavior of the sun being in front of the moon...

Ahh, the behaviour only seems to occur, if time rate is paused..
