The Stars in the Lunar Shadow

From the photographer: “On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse occurred over Mexico, USA, and Canada, bringing exceptional opportunity to hundreds of millions of people to enjoy the unique phenomenon. Since the shadow was almost 200 km wide, people inside it could enjoy an indescribable type of unusual darkness. While the Sun was hidden behind the Moon, its plasmatic atmosphere appeared in the sky. And not just that. Did you know that all bright planets, one comet, and many constellations could be capturable? I made an experiment with a wide-angle lens pointing to the northwest. From the image I surprisingly extracted so many objects which appeared in the shadowed sky during the 3 minutes and 26 seconds long total eclipse over Durango, Mexico. More can be found here“.
