Details:
This post records the presence of early and late volcanic sunset twilight arches which developed and receded under good seeing conditions on the 5th May. It demonstrates that almost three-and-a-half years after the massive Hunga-Tonga eruption in mid-January 2022 there are still sufficient quantities of volcanic aerosols (particles) in the stratosphere to produce spectacular optical effects which can be observed from this location (Mutare) during the hour and a quarter following sunset on nearly every day during which the weather is clear enough to permit an uninterrupted view of the sunset horizon! See introduction to my first post entitled ‘Three Early and Late Volcanic Sunsets, 5-7th May 2025’ for more details. Camera: Tripod-mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40 in sunset and manual exposure modes.
