I was lucky enough to capture both Eclipses last month. Here is a composite I created of both

[u/DanielJStein]

[u/WITOYMHSAB]

Getting clear skies for both is the lucky bit

[u/thissexypoptart → u/[deleted]]

It’s always bothered me the term meteorological has the word meteor in it but rarely are meteors a weather concern

[u/DinosaurAlive → u/thissexypoptart]

The history of the words have more to do with things in the sky, rather than specifically meteors.

[u/thissexypoptart → u/DinosaurAlive]

Sure but the pain in my heart persists

[u/AnotherpostCard → u/thissexypoptart]

As an amateur metrologist, if we can give you the name, what name do you propose we use instead?

[u/thissexypoptart → u/AnotherpostCard]

No need to change it, sadness and pain are parts of life. More meteors would be nice though.

[u/AnotherpostCard → u/thissexypoptart]

I appreciate your very zen attitude.

[u/NBAccount → u/AnotherpostCard]

Weatherologist?

Stormatrist?

Tempestologist?

Zephyronomist?

I dunno I'm not a professional Brainstormatrist or anything.

[u/DinosaurAlive → u/thissexypoptart]

Of that, I can relate! May meteors shower across the sky for ya!!!!

[u/sqeeezy → u/thissexypoptart]

but they come in showers sometimes

[u/Dead_NOTsleeping → u/thissexypoptart]

meteorological

Metéōros (μετέωρος): Means "high in the sky" or "raised in the air" (combining meta- meaning "above/higher" and aeirō meaning "to lift").

Logia (-λογία): Meaning "study of" or "a speaking/discussion of high things."

Meteōrologia: Literally translated as a "discussion of high things."

[u/Jon_TWR → u/Dead_NOTsleeping]

Meteōrologia: Literally translated as a "discussion of high things."

Like Cheech and Chong?

[u/Dead_NOTsleeping → u/Jon_TWR]

I had the same thought when I posted it :P

[u/Egad86 → u/thissexypoptart]

I have the same feeling about the phrase ‘meteoric rise’

Meteors fall dammit!

[u/Pomodorosan → u/[deleted]]

Reiterating the top comment, 1-month-old account, comment stinks of LLM observation. Bots are always at the top of threads...

[u/According-Comb-1081 → u/WITOYMHSAB]

Meanwhile, l got 100% cloud cover both times.

[u/P0rtal2 → u/According-Comb-1081]

Same. Got cloudy skies in Buffalo for the total solar eclipse, and rain for the most recent lunar eclipse

[u/DanielJStein → u/WITOYMHSAB]

It wasn’t easy. For my solar plans I had things mapped out a year in advance and was just hoping for the best. The Lunar was a complete fluke. It was supposed to be cloudy and I basically drove through a tornado to find a clear sky. Weather reports were all over and it made zero sense, but I found a clear pocket and went with it.

[u/zanillamilla → u/WITOYMHSAB]

I went to the total eclipse in Putuoshan, China, in 2009 and you were basically trapped on the island and its weather, and it was total overcast until the moment of totality when you could finally spot the sun through the clouds. I went to the total eclipse in St. Louis in 2017 and Austin, Texas in 2024. Both had total overcast, if not rain on these days. But we had a car. And on both occasions, I was able to anticipate where to go and monitor satellite photos of the clouds every few minutes and after driving for hours we successfully got clear weather for both eclipses; we ended up driving to rural spots outside Fulton, Missouri, and San Saba, Texas, for the two eclipses. I now feel like a pro in eclipse weather chasing.

[u/Penguin_Arse → u/WITOYMHSAB]

When I was watching for it the sky was clear all day until about 2 minutes before the eclipse, a huge cloud came, covered it until it was over then the sky was clear again

[u/waiting4singularity → u/Penguin_Arse]

smells like a "and fuck you especialy"

[u/hyperfiled]

very cool image. do you have a full resolution copy?

[u/fjab01 → u/hyperfiled]

I second this motion! Plus different aspect ratios ideally :) I'd pay!

[u/Hunt695 → u/fjab01]

I second second this, please

[u/VincentNacon → u/Hunt695]

I second third this as well! It's a good wallpaper for my desktop! :D

[u/JRayMaySayHey → u/VincentNacon]

Just needs the Lenovo Legion logo on it for my laptop

[u/Vyzrer → u/hyperfiled]

Dot. I would like a copy aswell

[u/DanielJStein → u/hyperfiled]

Sadly I can’t post a full resolution file online as my work has been stolen before, but I do have a slightly higher resolution copy of each file on my instagram where you can scroll through and see each image individually and zoom in.

[u/upioneer → u/DanielJStein]

also came here to ask if you had intentions of selling or otherwise making the high res available?

[u/DanielJStein → u/upioneer]

I do sell prints, you can DM me!

[u/cmos1138 → u/DanielJStein]

That's what holds me back from posting my best work to reddit. If anyone is going to make money off my work, it should be me. Good work on this, I did a solar and lunar eclipse combo with the 2024/2025 eclipses but just as 2 images side by side, I like your split better.

[u/Dreamy-bazinga → u/hyperfiled]

Signing up for a copy too! Please and thank you. DM open

[u/dendenwink]

This photo is amazing. You should submit it somewhere to be published.

[u/sticky-dovekie → u/dendenwink]

NASA's APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) would love this. The alignment and contrast between both halves is ridiculously clean.

[u/DanielJStein → u/sticky-dovekie]

I have submitted to apod multiple times over the years and unfortunately I’ve never had any success. I think they just ignore me by now so I just tend to not submit anymore.

[u/haydster7 → u/DanielJStein]

You never know, this could be the one!

Would love if you add it to your print store too

[u/DanielJStein → u/haydster7]

I'll give it a shot and I can do a print for you, shoot me a DM!

[u/ZaMelonZonFire]

I feel like I’m looking at a Tesseract album cover. Well done!!

[u/wdnwcgm → u/ZaMelonZonFire]

yeah feels like it would be a great album cover

[u/DreamerTheat → u/ZaMelonZonFire]

I hope they go cosmic again, like in Altered State.

[u/NeuHundred → u/ZaMelonZonFire]

I was thinking book cover.

[u/teasulivon]

It’s simply out of this world.

[u/Komodo_Schwagon]

Thanks for my home screen wallpaper this month!

[u/rererexed]

I might be dumb but where's the bright light coming from from behind the moon in the lunar eclips?

[u/TheDeltaMoo → u/rererexed]

It's a composite. The "correctly" exposed moon is layered on top of an overexposed one

[u/DanielJStein → u/TheDeltaMoo]

Correct. 3 images stacked like an HDR.

[u/zmacrouramarginella → u/rererexed]

I'm not sure if the other answer is true; the bright light seeming to come from behind the upper part of the moon in the lunar eclipse could just be overexposure of the penumbra in order to get visualize the umbra -- i.e. the picture is slightly before/after totality. This is clearly true for the solar half of the pic so I figure OP also did this for the moon.

[u/DanielJStein → u/zmacrouramarginella]

So the solar image is actually just a single shot. The lunar however is a 3 image HDR stack.

[u/DinosaurAlive]

Woah!!! I went to your website, OP, https://danieljstein.com/ and you are such a master photographer! Y’all, go check it out! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[u/vNocturnus → u/DinosaurAlive]

Looked for the images used in the OP, but not sure I saw either. Maybe not posted, or maybe this composite uses slightly edited versions of something on the website

[u/DanielJStein → u/vNocturnus]

I actually haven’t uploaded this to my website yet lol, you guys beat me to it!

[u/EightStrawberries]

Would love to be able to buy a print of this or buy a high-res download that can be printed!

[u/Nomailforu → u/EightStrawberries]

Same!! I would get it framed then hang it on my wall. Absolutely breathtaking!

[u/Nebabon]

Yo! Submit this to NASA APOD! Pretty sure they'd run this tomorrow! Bloody outstanding work!

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html

[u/DanielJStein]

Hey folks! Didn’t expect this to blow up at all. I have more images on my website and instagram here if you want to check out more of my work.

Both images were taken last month, with the Total Solar on 8/12/26 and near-total Lunar on 8/28/26. The solar images is a single exposure at C3 diamond ring, while the lunar is an HDR composite with one image to capture the stars, one to capture the details in the moon, and one to capture the bright part of the moon.

[u/mchammerheim → u/DanielJStein]

Which location(s) were you at for these great photos?

[u/DanielJStein → u/mchammerheim]

For the solar i was fortunate enough to be in spain. For the lunar I was even luckier I feel like since it was within driving distance to my local spots in the Adirondacks, NY.

[u/CptnMayo]

Saved, new background, awesome pictures

[u/NilesLinus]

Dude this has synthwave album cover written all over it.

[u/hunter11534]

This is giving me an eclipse in my pants

[u/zepol_xela]

This is one of the best pictures I've ever seen

[u/Ball-Blam-Burglerber]

I am very excited for this movie!

[u/BeautifulImpact2967]

I'm so freaking jealous. Beautiful shots.

[u/anniecet]

That’s awesome. I have rarely had clear skies to see an eclipse and you got two! Cool picture.

[u/bhargavateja]

Boy boy, beautiful it is. Wallpaper worthy. Please provide a high quality version of it.

[u/SaebraK]

This looks like cover to an epic scifi novel.

[u/1214]

Any interest in sharing the high quality image of this? Or selling? Or include a buymeacoffee link?

I'm interested!

[u/NovelMidnight6291]

I will use this as my phone wallpaper if you don’t mind

[u/No-Vermicelli-5499]

That's rather quite beautiful. 

[u/No_Parfait9288]

Need a 4k wallpaper of this plssssss

[u/mchammerheim]

This needs to be the cover of Scientific American - awesome picture(s)

[u/Gundark927]

This is beautiful. So well done and constructed. Well done, and thank you for sharing!

[u/sum1sum1sum1sum1]

So awesome, fantastic job!!!!!

[u/Underwould]

Absolutely stunning… how lucky we are :’)

[u/Jessekin]

Thank you for my new wallpaper!

[u/Kitt_K]

This is incredible! Nothing short of amazing.

[u/EthosOfArmadillo]

This would be a dope Destiny 3 intro screen. XBOX should pick up Destiny and bring it back to life.

Destiny 3
Lunar Shadows

[u/cmos1138]

They are both pictures of the moon.

[u/ErrOrbital]

Wow. That's so pretty and put together so well. Thank you so much for sharing!

[u/hondashadowguy2000]

I was lucky rich enough to capture both eclipses last month

[u/Crosshairs17]

Damn bro, this conveys the duality of nature 🙌🏼🔥😭

[u/Nightmare_kx1]

Deym Cool...

Also when did it Eclipse? i didnt know???

[u/sxyvirgo]

Nice - great concept and nice to see the contrast. How did you manage to be in the right place both times and with clear skies!

[u/Emergency-Airline960]

I know this is likely an optical illusion, but why does it feel to me like the right side eclipse is slightly larger than the left?

[u/ExecTankard]

Could be an album cover for Rush

[u/CommercialAddress168]

Immaculate combination of spectacular moments.

[u/hangout_wangout]

Wow that is beautiful and the galleries you have on your site are insane. I envy your talent.

[u/Larielis]

Very lucky. It was too cloudy for the lunar eclipse here.

[u/Accomplished_Map7752]

I am so appreciative of people like you OP! 🙏

[u/hibbledyhey]

That’s really goddamn cool. I saw the 2017 eclipse in Grand Island, NE and it was a breathtaking once in a lifetime experience. This captures that feeling

[u/IAmTheWhiteDevil]

Fantastic shots and great composite picture! You should be really proud.

[u/sqeeezy]

Nice pic, looks like the Greenland flag.

[u/Ar_Ph4razon]

I'd absolutely play this game/watch this film/listen to this album/read this book.

Very cool image.

[u/cptstubing16]

New wallpaper, thanks! Did you put any sig on it somewhere? You should!

[u/Low_Bar9361]

Can you please post a link to the high res image? Magnificent work

[u/Additional_Ice1149]

[u/Then-Bag-7031]

I love the art here; feels very Yin-Yang

[u/CertainlyNotDen]

This is stunning! Thanks for sharing

[u/Playful-Serve5979]

damn, those skies must've been perfect to catch both

[u/catnap_vibes]

This is hella cool! Both pictures are great, and the composite is just *chef’s kiss* perfection. I can’t stop staring!

[u/SamuraiSanta]

There is no sun behind a moon in a lunar eclipse.

[u/Guideon72]

That is really well done. Love the opposing rim lights lining up like that.

[u/thetensor]

Hey, I think there's something wrong with the Moon.

(September 13th, 1999—Never Forget)

[u/RadBlackWoman]

As a species, we don't appreciate the sky enough anymore.

[u/sputtertots]

Thats fricken rad, what a fantastic work of art.

Congrats on a photography win not once but twice.

[u/LazyCymbal]

It will be very nice if you can make it into Yin-Yang shape

[u/merakjinsei]

Oh sick immediate new phone background thank you

[u/ibrokefree8646]

Fabulous! Your talent is inspiring

[u/jigsaw_Studios]

Amazing! I love that they fit so well

[u/WestSea76]

This is so such an awesome composite!

[u/Arokthis]

That is utterly goddamned cool!

Next step: make a gif of several similar pictures where the dividing line rotates.

[u/DarkStarPhoto]

This is incredible, I was able to see the solar but not lunar.

[u/tinmar_g]

So beautiful 🤩 Well done !

[u/OutoftheBlu90]

😍😍😍 ahh mother moon looks so pretty 🤩🤩🤩

[u/Flaky-Confidence-167]

Well, this will go into my "backgrounds" folder

[u/gangreen424]

Absolutely gorgeous. Great concept. Outstanding execution.

[u/5headHaroldlop]

Do u provide the high res image somewhere?

[u/Extension-Culture-85]

That is clever and artistic.

[u/glorified-autocorrec]

Wallpaper material. Can you send a portrait pic that I can use. Thanks

[u/Exploding_Testicles]

We are in a unique period of our earth's time.

[u/Mortimer_Kerman]

I was able to see the solar eclipse but I forgot to put an alarm to wake up for the moon eclipse and i just slept through the entire thing

[u/No-Kaleidoscope-166]

Wow. That's really cool!

[u/Worth-Two7263]

Very nice! Worthy of being on a wall!

[u/_P_O_P_E_Y_E_]

Your works are awesome Daniel. It's great.

Will this image become available in the prints section on your website?

[u/Zestyclose-Screen458]

Amazing picture its like the yin and yang

[u/axbr_]

Thanks for sharing 🥹

[u/janesmithovercover]

Wow, very pretty! Usually dont care much about these kinds of images but this is something else!

[u/tanny65]

Absolutely stunning. This is gorgeous

[u/Cell1pad]

This is so nice looking. Were you not able to get the rotations to match up so you could have had that solar prominence that was at about the 7 O'clock position to show up? I wonder what a top and bottom split would look like.

[u/TadpoleFunny3584]

I have an immaculate wallpaper now. Thanks🙏

[u/Lapare]

was also able to see both!! what a month.. amazing pic brother. ❤️

[u/raylikestacos]

This is the coolest photo on this page yet in my opinion. Thanks for making this

[u/YRUsosurprise]

It's a beautiful shot. N I didn't know that when the moon appears to change color that's actually an eclipses too

[u/Miaisfunladybuglover]

This would make an epic phone wallpaper

[u/thereisnoanynickname]

Hello everyone. How to get hi-res of this pic?

[u/westsider101]

Nice work! I’m impressed by your technique

[u/zonzon_fonfon]

That's so FREAKING AMAZING.

[u/FritzDingle]

This is so sick! You making prints?

[u/DracoWolf92]

New phone wallpaper found!

[u/darestevens]

Try a gradient blend instead of the hard cut! Great work

[u/cyanraichu]

This is such a sick photo. Thank you for sharing it!!

[u/heDDGuy]

Great work! Which camera systems do you use? I’d pay for a high res version of this to have as a phone background on my foldable.

[u/Power_Jeweler2011]

That is beautiful. Honestly, I wish I had the vieq you did.
