Supriyo Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I like the solar eclipse photo. It reminds me of what I saw decades back with my own eyes in the 90s. With naked eye, the bright triangular part of the corona is predominantly visible compared to the rest, but if I remember correctly, it was also slightly pinkish in hue. However, I have never seen an image which reproduces that pinkish hue. Its mind boggling, how far into space the corona is extended. My meager attempt in photographing sunspots.

Moving On Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 They make solar scopes now that safely show solar activity in detail. Fascinating show. I remember the first time I saw it feeling a strange sense of anxiety thinking anything that burned like that would surely burn out before too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supriyo Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I love astronomical images. Usually a good daily fix is available at the NASA site Astronomy Picture of the Day At least they care to update their picture of the day on a daily basis, as opposed to PN. Both the POTD and POW were last updated on 10/14 and 10/10 respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
