Astronomy Picture of the Day - A Sunrise at Sunset Point
NASA ^ | 19, Oct, 2023 | Image Credit & Copyright: Martin Ratcliffe

Explanation: This timelapse series captured on October 14 is set against the sunrise view from Sunset Point, Bryce Canyon, planet Earth. Of course on that date the New Moon caught up with the Sun in the canyon's morning skies. Local temperatures fell as the Moon's shadow swept across the high altitude scene and the brilliant morning sunlight became a more subdued yellow hue cast over the reddish rocky landscape. In the timelapse series, images were taken at 2 minute intervals. The camera and solar filter were fixed to a tripod to follow the phases of the annular solar eclipse.

The Moon? The food was OK, but there was no atmosphere...

I like how the sun melts the horizon just a little bit.

Gorgeous time-lapse. We had cloudy skies here in North Idaho and didn’t see a thing. Not even a bit of dimming of the morning sky with 70% coverage of the sun.

I had thought about driving to Bryce or Zion, but decided against the long journey.
