Spain's Golden Eclipse: A Rare Sight Caused by Wildfire Smoke
A total solar eclipse over Spain turned the corona an unusual golden hue due to atmospheric conditions and wildfire smoke, creating a stunning visual spectacle.
The Sun was setting during the eclipse, causing its light to pass through more of Earth's atmosphere. This natural filtering effect altered the usual pearly white appearance of the corona.
Wildfires in the region further filtered out blue light, intensifying the golden glow and adding a bright pink solar prominence to the scene.
