Image Details:

After the total eclipse on July 2nd, 2019, the sun set below the Andes Mountains as viewed from the area near Bella Vista, Argentina. The sun was still partially eclipsed by the moon during sunset, and this caused two "horn shaped" solar features to be separately visible above the mountains as the sun went down. The two bright areas created separate sun stars as well as some interesting diffraction patterns in the light at the moment before they set completely.
