The result is a stunning 8K timelapse made up of almost 2,000 images.
And once Kurth had the date on the calendar, he knew that this was his moment.
I dont believe any annular eclipse has been captured in this much detail before.
And Kurth may be correct.
Logging in at just under two minutes, the timelapse is a glorious look at this special event.
While the Sun appears to stand still, a close look shows the whirling, swirling chromosphere.
At this moment, we see just a gold band sparking in the sky.
Then, the Moon continues on its path, slowly revealing the giant star once again.
Thanks to Kurth’s dedication and hard work, anyone can revel in the wonder of this event.
Astrophotographer Jason Kurth created an incredible 8K timelapse of October’s Ring of Fire eclipse.
He used nearly 2,000 images to put together this detailed look at the rare event.
I dont believe any annular eclipse has been captured in this much detail before.
