Details:
In 2022, there were four eclipses observable around the world: Two partial solar and two total lunar. Eclipses always come in pairs or rarely even in triplets in one lunar period. The partial solar eclipse on April 30th was visible widely across Chile and Argentina before sunset. About two weeks after, on May 16th, a long total lunar eclipse appeared in the sky primarily over the Americas and it was dark due to the influence of the ash in Earth's upper atmosphere hurled back in January during the major Tonga volcano. The Autumn pair of eclipses started with a significant partial solar eclipse visible only from Europe and Asia, followed by the last eclipse of the year, the second total lunar one on November 8th, visible again mostly from the Americas and the whole Pacific then. The images were taken close to the maxima of the phenomena with the same equipment to show even the correct angular sizes of the Sun and Moon as they appear differently large in the sky due to the elliptic orbit of the Moon and Earth.
