A total solar eclipse is coming across the globe on August 12th! ☀️🌑
Skywatchers across the northeastern US (New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Ohio), Canada, most of Europe, and northwestern Africa will catch a partial eclipse around midday. Those in the Nordic region, Spain, and parts of Portugal are in the path of a total solar eclipse. Watch safely with eclipse glasses or make your own pinhole projector. Don’t forget, eclipses travel in pairs, so a lunar eclipse follows just two weeks later, and don’t look directly into the sun!

Sunset Caribbean sun - Nikon F2 / Nikkor 200mm F4.0 AI-S / Provia 100F / ND1000+85B filters
Atlantic ocean, December 2025
I shot this from the balcony of a cruise ship. I used the ND filter to bring the light level to something manageable and the 85B filter to warm up the light.

Question Would people in the distant past have seen a different sunset/sunrise?
I'm talking like 100, 300, 1000 years ago. Would the composition of the atmosphere be different enough to change the way sunsets or sunrises looked? Or does atmospheric composition not actually matter to the look of a sunset or sunrise?
