The Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) highlights the diverse processes
and phenomena which shape our planet and our lives. EPOD will collect and
archive photos, imagery, graphics, and artwork with short explanatory
captions and links exemplifying features within the Earth system. The
community is invited to contribute digital imagery, short captions and

 Solar Eclipse From the Air Over the South Atlantic Ocean

   February 28, 2022

   Photographer:  Petr Horálek

   Summary Author:  Petr Horálek

   Despite reflections through the aircraft window, I could get some
   details of the  solar corona during the  December 4th solar
   eclipse from the Eclipse Flight. This was the only  total solar
   eclipse of 2021, with the only other solar eclipse that year being an
    annular eclipse in June. Of course, some ground-based observations
   made by photographers in  Union Glacier will bring real gems from
   this eclipse. Note the halo around the eclipsed sun, which is caused by
   the average of all  reflections.

   Photo details: Canon Ra, Tamron 70-200@200mm, f2.8, ISO 800,
   stabilized; Set of exposures 1/4000, 1/2000, 1/1000, 1/500, 1/125,
   1/60, 1/25 - all exposures repeated four times. Stars were digitally
   magnified.
