Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau, a 51-year-old Argentinian astrophotographer captured a jaw-dropping 236,000 mile-high wall of Sun plasma. He snapped the amazing spectacle on Wednesday according to New York Post.
Eduardo from Rafaela, Santa Fe, has shared his awe-inspiring experience of photographing a colossal solar prominence, captured through his H-alpha telescope.Speaking about the event, he said: “Yesterday, around 3:30 pm, despite the enormous turbulence of the atmosphere, I managed to photograph a gigantic tongue of plasma on the Sun with my H-alpha telescope.”
Eduardo’s observation revealed a wall that expanded to an impressive height of over 236,000 miles, surpassing the distance between the Earth and the Moon. He described the solar phenomenon as “truly spectacular,” noting, “The magnitude and beauty of this event left me in awe, reminding me once again of the majesty and power of the universe that surrounds us. The gigantic tongue of plasma stretched out like a fiery serpent.”
Eduardo managed to capture the moment using his Coronado Solarmax III Solar Telescope with a double stack and a 60 mm aperture, paired with a QHY 678M camera. “Capturing this moment with my telescope was an unforgettable experience, despite the adverse conditions,” he added.
