    Volcanic Sunsets Observed from Mutare, Zimbabwe in 2022   
      
      August 17, 2022   
      
       121 Volcanic Sunsets 21 January-20 June 2022   
      
      Photographer:  Dr Peter Lowenstein   
      Summary Author:  Dr Peter Lowenstein   
      
      From January 21, 2022, when the  sulfur dioxide plume and   
       stratospheric aerosols associated with the January 15, 2022,   
      eruption of the  Hunga-Tonga Volcano first reached Africa, until   
      June 20, 2022, a total of 121 brightly colored volcanic  sunsets   
      were recorded as observed from Mutare, Zimbabwe. The mosaic above shows   
      the best picture taken on each day that a volcanic  sunset display   
      was either directly visible or reflections appeared through thin   
      clouds, thereby illustrating a unique 5-month record of ground-based   
      observation of the after-effects of a major volcanic eruption on the   
      Southern Hemisphere stratosphere.   
      
      Photo details: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 and ZS40 cameras, in sunset or   
      manual exposure modes. Montage compiled from two 4K screen captures of   
      Windows 10 image thumbnail displays merged with Photoshop Elements 15   
      and background changed to grey.
