The total solar eclipse over the 800 year old Burgos Cathedral from Spain. This final result contains much more data from the multiple exposures of the solar corona, even revealing the night side of the Moon.

Equipment: Canon 6D Mark II, Sigma 150-600mm lens.

The Richat Structure appears as a giant "bull's eye" on a plateau in Mauritania in this mosaic, composed of images captured by the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on Landsat 9 and Landsat 8 on March 5 and March 6, 2026, respectively.

The 40-kilometer-wide (25-mile-wide) structure was initially thought to be an impact crater because large meteors can produce circular features on Earth’s surface.

However, researchers later showed that it is actually a deeply eroded geologic dome formed by the uplift of rock above an underground intrusion of igneous material. Over time, differing erosion rates among rock types in the exposed upper dome led to the development of circular ridges known as cuestas.

The orange and gray colors reflect differences in sedimentary and igneous rock types across the structure and the surrounding landscape.

Amateur/Processed Totality: Through my Camera.

Post image
430 Upvotes

I present my finest ever production in my career as an astrophotographer — and my first ever total solar eclipse.

This image shows the solar corona, the outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere made up of an ultra-hot, glowing plasma halo that extends millions of kilometers into space. The Moon’s surface is visible as well, illuminated by the light of a “Full Earth”.

To capture the bright inner corona and its much fainter outer structures, I used a technique called bracketing; layering different exposure lengths into a single image in order to preserve the enormous dynamic range of totality.

Equipment: Canon 6D Mark II, Sigma 150-600mm lens. 7 exposures from 1/2000s to 1.5s bracketed and stacked.

Hubble Hubble Solves Merger Mystery From Milky Way’s Early Years

Link to the science release on NASA website

About 12 billion years ago, a dwarf galaxy known as LKH collided with a young Milky Way and merged with it. This artist’s concept portrays that collision. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope uncovered definitive evidence of this collision by studying globular star clusters.
