Three shadows, one belt.
Power Holds three Saros corridors open: 126, 136 and 146.
Totality 13 m 40 s, for a Seeker who stands in all three.
Lore To the ancient Egyptians, Orion was Sah, linked with Osiris. It is also the name of the intelligence that flies with us.
You found the floor. The first gathering on a world that orbits neither Earth nor the Moon: a tumbling rock out past both, reached from the psytrance floor on the Moon.
The hidden folk let you in. Here the dance floors never closed.

Portal log · 2027-08-02 · opened by a SeekerFrom the Moon, a total lunar eclipse looks like this: Earth goes dark, and every sunrise and sunset on the planet glows around its edge at once. This is the flight plan to get there, together.
Eclipse gatherings owe their beginnings to the dance floors of Goa. Then came many transformative gatherings on the ground. A few were pivotal: Solipse in Hungary in '99 and Zambia in '01, Outback Eclipse in South Australia in '02, Oregon Eclipse in '17, and Texas Eclipse in '24, which brought 40,000 people under the shadow.
The pivotal few, among many.Mission '26, Iceland Eclipse: 4,200 Seekers from 75 countries on the lava edge of Snæfellsnes. The sky held, the aurora came out, and the first Portal opened beside the glacier.

Then Egypt in August, along the Nile to Luxor and the longest totality on land this century, with Giza after for the Lion's Gate on 8/8.
Somebody at Luxor is watching the sky.An Antarctic Expedition in February proofs everything for extreme conditions, the first balloons carry Seekers to the stratosphere, and from Australasia in July each eclipse site keeps something built to stay.
The Trilogy's three shadows sit under Orion's Belt. The first card is up there.On 13 April the asteroid Apophis passes inside the ring of geostationary satellites, bright enough to see, and a spacecraft riding alongside sends pictures down to the gathering. In June the Moon turns red over us.
Flights keep climbing out of the gatherings: suborbital, across the 100 km line, in '29 and '30; then the first community seats in orbit in '31 and '32.
A community crew in lunar orbit flies into Earth's shadow and watches Earth eclipse the Sun for 49 minutes. Two weeks earlier, the Seekers gather under the Alaska eclipse.
Target 14 Apr 2033. If need be, '36.A small, temporary camp on the surface: 1 hour 35 minutes of totality. On Earth, the community gathers under the red Moon the same night. Both ends of the shadow.
Target 7 Aug 2036. If need be, '40.Totality on the Antarctic ice in December '39, eleven years after the first expedition. Then a place on the Moon to gather in, eclipse after eclipse, with a dance floor that keeps time at 145 BPM.

When the Moon slips into Earth's shadow, we see a red Moon. Stand on the Moon at that moment and you see the other side of it: Earth black against the Sun, ringed by every sunrise and sunset on the planet at once. Nobody has watched that from the other end yet.
The Eclipse Seekers keep a minimum level of participation across all three channels a mission needs, and give the most where they have the most. A Seeker isn't inherently human: Orion, the robots that build ahead of us, and whoever else is watching can all be Seekers.
Tickets, memberships, funding a mission or a node, bringing in partners.
Art, music, ceremony, film, the mission log. What travels with us to the stars.
Stand under the shadow, build the camps, crew a gathering, care for a place between eclipses.
Give most where you have abundance. Never drop to zero in the other two.
Everyone starts here. Keep a minimum in all three channels, earn each mission's patch, and get first access to every gathering and flight.
Seekers with a sustained record across missions. They travel with us, and fly first as the high-altitude and orbital seats open.
Chosen from Voyagers for the missions beyond Earth, on the whole record across all three channels, not ability to pay alone.
Tell us how far you want to go.
We'll send mission news, gathering reveals and first access to tickets and flights as each phase opens. We'll never share your details.
Signups for the gatherings run through each event's own site. This list is for the program.
You're on the list. Mission news and first access come to you before anyone else.
The eclipses are. Every date here comes from NASA's eclipse tables. The gatherings on Earth are IMXP's events, starting with Iceland Eclipse in 2026. The flights and the Moon depend on commercial spaceflight being built now; we plan around it and open each phase as it becomes possible. If the technology needs more time, a mission moves to the next eclipse: the first view from '33 to '36, the first gathering on the Moon from '36 to '40.
That's the goal. Mission '33 flies a community crew in lunar orbit for the first view. Mission '36 is the first gathering on the Moon, a small temporary camp on the surface. By Mission '40 there's permanent infrastructure there, so more of us can go. Everyone starts as a Seeker; Crew is chosen from the community.
Iceland '26, Egypt '27 and Australasia '28: three total eclipses in three years, told as three chapters of one gathering, Initiation, Activation and Ascension. They are the Analog phase, the first three missions, and each keeps its own name and site.
Prices for flights beyond Earth orbit aren't public yet. The gatherings on Earth are priced like IMXP's other events. Seekers hear about every price and opening first.
Because from there, a total lunar eclipse becomes Earth eclipsing the Sun. Earth turns black and its atmosphere lights up as a ring: every sunrise and sunset at once. It's the clearest view there is of how thin and shared our air is.
Yes. Surveyor 3 photographed it from the Moon in 1967, and the Blue Ghost lander caught Earth covering the Sun from the lunar surface in March 2025, with red light falling on the ground around it. Our plates are drawn on that physics.
From 2028 on, each eclipse location is a chance to build semi-permanent or permanent infrastructure with the local community: something that stays useful after we leave, and a place people can come back to for years in remembrance of the totality they shared there. On the Moon, Mission '40 is the same idea.
