Astrophotos by Luis Carreira

I was admiring an image made by Carreira -- it's featured in an article about a young crescent Moon that sharp eyes will see after sunset on May 27 in the Western hemisphere -- and I happened to hover over the link for his name. This led me to his site, which is full of rich, wonderful photos of many celestial phenomena, including:


The solar eclipse in March (you might recall that I posted a few photos of that event)


The lunar eclipse in October 2004


Venus' transit of the Sun in June 2004
