Details:
Perfectly clear skies early in the morning of May 10th provided good views of the very bright planet Venus with Saturn above and Mercury close to the horizon in emerging volcanic sunrise glow and a brightly colored twilight arch. The accompanying photographs of the three planets rising and fading in the brightening volcanic sunrise were taken from my back garden between 5.10 and 5.59 am. They display the reverse sequence of the brightness and color shown in my previous posts of volcanic sunsets which took place a few days earlier (from 5th to 7th May) caused by the volcanic aerosols still lingering in the stratosphere almost three and a half years after eruption of the Hunga-Tonga Volcano in January 2022. Camera: Tripod-mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40 in manual and sunset exposure modes.
