Radiant Solar Corona Emerges Over Spain Amid Eclipse

Buzzline

In a total solar eclipse witnessed in Spain, the Sun's outer layer exhibited a striking golden hue rather than the usual pearly white. This phenomenon occurred when the Sun was positioned near the horizon, causing sunlight to traverse a thicker layer of atmosphere and scatter shorter blue wavelengths. Additionally, smoke from nearby wildfires contributed to a filtering effect, enhancing the warm colors. An image taken in Benavente utilized HDR and multiple exposures to capture both subtle and vivid details. A pink solar prominence was visible along the Sun's edge, providing a stark contrast to the golden corona.
