MXPlank AstroPhysics News Snippet Of The Day - 2021-06-28








It may look like a paper Moon. Sailing past a canvas Sun. But those are not cardboard clouds. And its not make believe.  The featured picture of an orange colored sky is real -- a digital composite of two exposures of the solar eclipse that occurred earlier this month. The first exposure was taken with a regular telescope that captured an overexposed Sun and an underexposed Moon, while the second image was taken with a solar telescope that captured details of the chromosphere of the background Sun. The Suns canvas-like texture was brought up by imaging in a very specific shade of red emitted by hydrogen. Several prominences can be seen around the Suns edge. The image was captured just before sunset from Xilingol, Inner Mongolia, China. Its also not make-believe to imagine that the Moon is made of dense rock, the Sun is made of hot gas, and clouds are made of floating droplets of water and ice.
