 Twilight Comparison at Curitiba, Brazil, Before and Post Eruption of
Hunga Tonga

   September 09, 2022

    Ep2016-07-07 e 2022-06-12 - Sol a -11 graus

   Photographer:  Fabiano Belisário Diniz
   Summary Author:  Fabiano Belisário Diniz

   Shown above is a dramatic comparison between a normal twilight and a
    volcanic twilight as observed from Curitiba, Brazil, on July 7,
   2017 (top) and on June 12, 2022 (bottom).  Ash from the  Hunga
   Tonga volcano played a major role in enhancing the  dusk colors on
   the 2022 photo. Note that both photos were taken when the sun was 11
   degrees below the horizon in Curitiba. Many places in the southern
   hemisphere, and elsewhere, have been experiencing particularly
    colorful twilights since late January, some two weeks after the
   eruption.

   Photo details: Although both photos show the same stage of twilight
   (sun at -11 degrees), the city lights appear fainter in the bottom
   photo because I used a graduated filter with the dark portion facing
   down.
