Yesterday I wen to see the Astronomy Photographer of the Year exhibition at the Greenwich Maritime museum. It’s totally free and I absolutely loved it. The
Photos were displayed on multiple light box screens which really added another dimension to the images.
This was the winning photo
It’s by photographer Ryan Imperio from the United States and shows the shadows of the Moon's Surface created during an eclipse. The photo was shot in Texas during the annular solar eclipse of 14 October.
The image is a composite of more than 30 separate photographs of the Sun and captures the fleeting optical illusion known as 'Baily's beads', which occurs when sunlight shines through the valleys and craters of the Moon. Ryan had only seconds to capture the beads as the eastern curve or ‘limb’ of the Moon almost touched that of the Sun, the timeframe being so tight that an atomic clock was needed for accuracy.
I’ve shared most of the wonderful images from the exhibition. Which is your favourite?
I also took a look around the museum afterwards and really really enjoyed it . I had no idea it was such an interesting museum and I think the layout was the best of all the London museums there was so many interactive elements to keep you engaged and learning.
