Lunar Eclipse (2019)

This is a sequence of the lunar eclipse 2019.

Santiago de Chile.

Reading from left to right, you can see how the Earth's shadow cone covers the lunar surface, until it is completely submerged in a reddish copper color. This particular color of lunar eclipses is due to the shadow cast by the sun on the earth, generating a scattering effect of the light refracted by its atmosphere.

Summer flight

An airplane flies in front of the solar disk while the Sun begins to awaken its activity with AR 2757 in the center; a small sunspot, small in apparent size but as large as Earth.

To take this picture, the summer season is expected and the sunset and takeoff of the planes are calculated (every 10 minutes).
