Amateur Astronomers Capture Stunning Lunar and Solar System Images

The Programa Olhar Espacial featured two remarkable images captured by amateur astronomers. The first image is a high-definition mosaic of the Moon, composed of eight photos. It reveals lunar features such as the Montes Apenninus, Caucasus, and Alpes mountains, along with the Imbrium, Vaporum, and Serenitatis seas. The second image showcases a composition of almost all planets and the Sun, captured with the same telescope but at varying magnifications. Each planet was photographed on different nights in 2024. Earth is absent from the composition, as it served as the point of origin for the images.
