2023年10月19日 A Sunrise at Sunset Point Image Credit & Copyright: Martin Ratcliffe Explanation: This timelapse series captured on October 14 is set against the sunrise view from Sunset Point, Bryce Canyon, planet Earth. Of course on that date the New Moon caught up with the Sun in the canyon’s morning skies. Local temperatures fell as the Moon’s shadow swept across the high altitude scene and the brilliant morning sunlight became a more subdued yellow hue cast over the reddish rocky landscape. In the timelapse series, images were taken at 2 minute intervals. The camera and solar filter were fixed to a tripod to follow the phases of the annular solar eclipse.

2023年10月5日 Ring of Fire over Monument Valley Image Credit & Copyright: Tunc Tezel (TWAN) Explanation: Tracking along a narrow path, the shadow of a new moon will race across North, Central, and South America, on October 14.

From before eclipse start until sunset, they are seen over the iconic buttes of planet Earth’s Monument Valley. Remarkably,…

2021年06月18日 Devil Horns from a Ring of Fire Image Credit & Copyright: Madhup Rathi Explanation: Atmospheric refraction flattened the solar disk and distorted its appearance in this telescopic view of an Atlantic sunrise on June 10. From Belmar, New Jersey on the US east coast, the scene was recorded at New Moon during this season’s annular solar eclipse. The Moon in partial silhouette gives the rising Sun its crescent shape reminding some of the horns of the devil (or maybe a flying canoe …). But at its full annular phase this eclipsed Sun looked like a ring of fire in the heavens. June’s annular solar eclipse followed on the heels of the total lunar eclipse of late May’s Full Moon. Of course, that total lunar…
