The image of the solar corona, which was seen during last year's total solar eclipse over South America, is today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). The data were acquired last year at the end of the year in Argentina by Andreas Möller, who then contacted the Brno mathematician Miloslav Druckmüller from FME BUT in Brno with a request to create final photography. The prestigious Astronomy Picture of the Day has two authors.

Miloslav Druckmüller is an internationally recognized expert in digital image processing. Thanks to him, the original 55 shots of the solar eclipse turned into the photography NASA chose as today´s Astronomy Picture of the Day. The image is unique for two reasons: the first is a huge cloud of plasma, called CME (Corona Mass Ejection, and sweeping coronal structures normally hidden in the Sun's glare. Look closely for an ill-fated sungrazing Kreutz family comet (C/2020 X3 SOHO) approaching from the lower left, at about the 7 o'clock position.

Professor Druckmüller also scored last summer when NASA chose for APOD his picture of Comet NEOWISE, he is an author of 11 Astronomy Picture of the Day in total.
