Details:
In today's Spaceweather Dark Lunar Eclipse (updated) article, it is suggested that lingering volcanic aerosols from the April eruption of Calbuco Volcano may be in part to blame for the excessive darkening of the Moon in the recent total lunar eclipse. That there are still significant quantities of aerosols in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere is beyond doubt, as brightly colored volcanic aerosol sunsets continue to be observed from Mutare in Zimbabwe. Their intensity has gradually diminished over the past five months but occasionally when the sky is clear and there is very good visibility, beautiful displays such as the one shown in the accompanying mosaic, compiled from four images captured on 25 September, still occur. These were taken between 17.56 and 18.19 local time with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 compact camera in sunset auto mode.
