Admire the flag on this page.

This is termed the "Pedas Sigler eclipse flag", the name referring to a couple of eclipse enthusiast business people who pioneered eclipse cruises — ocean liner vacations aiming maximum observation time of solar eclipses.

As for the classification of this flag, comparing with other “astronomical” flags such as those of planets, I think this is something else, more akin weather signal flags, such as hurricane or beach condition flags. I.e., when and where a solar eclipse is imminent (or when and where something about it is being done), this flag goes up…

Isn’t it more like a one-off signal flag — «This vessel is engaged in totality-tracking»? Or a house flag? Or if not a house flag (since the vessels flying it presumably are doing other things between eclipses), then isn’t it closest to a company flag? (The Ted Pedas Eclipse Cruise Company or something…)

It is also possible. Research is needed about the actual and intended use of this flag.
