Details:
We’ve had some strange colourful sunsets in the western sky for the past couple of days here on the Gold Coast. Then I realized from some postings on Spaceweather that it could be aerosols in the atmosphere from the volcanic plume left over from the Tonga-Hunga eruption. (Thank you Peter Lowenstein from Zimbabwe & Tara Williams from Pottsville NSW)
I got really excited to see what I could capture but had to drive up to Mt Tamborine to get a good western horizon, so I grabbed my husband and said we were going on an adventure, told him to grab a beer and lets go…
After the Sun had set, we waited and watched the sky above where the Sun has set and you could definitely see the aerosols in the sky all along the horizon and up into the sky…. As the time went by, you could then see crepuscular rays forming in this material. I was so pleased to have made the effort to drive up the mountain; it was well and truly worth it ☺ ☺ ☺
