AdvertisementHere are some mistakes you may be making while photographing the moon and how to fix them, according to two professional astrophotographers. Mistake 1: Taking photos at the wrong timeJon Carmichael captured the moon during a lunar eclipse. The silver lining is you can get better detail because you're shooting through less atmosphere and the photos will be clearer. Taking photos closer to sunset gives you more lighting compared to later at night, which will make taking a cellphone picture easier. "If you're shooting in any kind of auto setting, then you're making the camera decide for you," Carmichael said.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a video of a tornado churning on the sun. The fiery formation of boiling solar plasma grew to an estimated height of 14 Earths. SDO/NASAThe magnetic structure that caused this tornado is actually a lot bigger than what we're seeing. As these move around the sun, they create magnetic fields that erupt through the solar surface.

Social media users have claimed that because stars are not routinely visible in photographs taken from spacecraft, space itself is a hoax. One clip that circulated online showed images taken from the Artemis I Orion shuttle with no stars visible. However, the daytime sky on Earth is only blue due to “scattering of light in the Earth’s atmosphere,” Smethurst said. In the case of the Artemis I mission, the settings would be adjusted to focus on the Earth, Moon and the spacecraft itself. This can be tested at home, McCarthy told Reuters, by trying to take a photo of a full moon and stars at the same time.
