Atmospheric Phenomena of Peru: Planetary Endeavour

11/12/20 – Andagua, Arequipa – 3,587 M.A.S.L

The valley of the volcanoes is a very remote and unknown location in the depths of Peru. This place contains, as you may guess, different sized volcanoes, carbonized remains of an ancient civilization, a meteor impact location and several mysteries yet to be discovered. This truly has been the most mysterious place I have ever been in my entire life, there are rural paintings, undocumented ancient ruins, long hikes, amazing people and clear skies for night photography and celestial sightings.

This AP is called a planetary Conjunction, It´s a rare sighting of the approximation in the night skies of the planet Jupiter and Saturn close together. The complete conjunction happened on the night of the 21st and on this picture we can appreciate a mixture between a planetary conjunction and the Twilight lighting up the clouds in the midground before night fell.
