APOD 4.5

     This week I looked at the APOD titled "Total Eclipse over Svalbard. This picture show a total eclipse as it progresses through the sky. each frame is taken about three minutes apart. The total eclipse only lasted for about 2.5 minutes, but just by looking at the picture you can tell that everyone was amazed by it. Also since there are so many cameras in this picture maybe another one of this eclipse will be in an APOD next week. Its also amazing how this picture was taken in the middle of the day but the the solar eclipse makes it appear as if it is night.

APOD 4.4

     This APOD is titled "Milky Way over Erupting Volcano". In order to get this picture the photographer had to endure high winds and low temperatures. The photographer had to also travel to the top of the near by volcano Santa Maria in Guatemala. All this work sure paid off because the astronomer got such a great picture.This picture captures the volcano Fuego erupting in the distance with the Milky Way over it.

APOD 4.3

     I was looking at the APOD titles Sun and Moon Halo and I thought that it looked pretty cool.This is a combination of two pictures, one taken at night, and the other during the day. The halo that surrounds the half moon half sun combination is an ice halo. above the moon to the right we can see the planet Jupiter. This picture is absolutely breath taking in the way it shows the day and night in one picture near exact same conditions.

APOD 4.2

     I was looking at the APOD titled "Corona from Svalbard". This is a picture that depicts a solar eclipse. The white outline seen in this picture is the crown of the sun or better known as its corona. What I find amazing about this picture is that it is actually a composite of 29 different pictures put in one. It looks just like it is made of only one picture. Something else I find interesting about this picture is that details of the new moon can be seen in this picture. Usually the new moon remains black but here one can see the craters of the moon.
