Things both expected and unexpected. Expected, perhaps, the pictured rays of light &#8212; called crepuscular rays &#8212; originate from the Sun. Unexpected, though, the Sun was being partially eclipsed by the Moon at the time &#8212; late last month. Expected, perhaps, the Sun&#8217;s rays are quite bright as they shine through gaps in below-horizon clouds. Unexpected, though, the crepuscular rays are quite red, likely the result an abundance of aerosols in Earth&#8217;s atmosphere scattering away much of the blue light. Expected, with hope, a memorable scene featuring both the Moon and the Sun, superposed. Unfortunately, from this location &#8212; in Uruguay looking toward Argentina &#8212; clouds obscured the eclipse &#8212; which wasn&#8217;t completely unexpected. However, after packing up to go home, the beauty of bright red crepuscular rays emerged &#8212; quite unexpectedly. Oh &#8212; and that island on the horizon &#8212; it&#8217;s really two islands. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap220530.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s happening behind that island?
