The Astronomer by ~Alexbalix Comment by ~Monastor "one of the most impressive astronomy-related photographs I have ever seen. It is just different. Not only does it show the unique beauty of our galaxy itself, but it also features the people admiring the beauty. The combination of humans and stellar objects in one shots creates a surreal feeling, which is further echoed by the blur caused by the movement of the observers. It is not just our world, it's the presence of it among thousands of other worlds and thousands of moments of time... all in one shot. It gives a whole new look at our existance in space."

Description

I venture up every other Saturday to the Onizuka visitor center where my father and I volunteer. This night was the Perseid meteor shower and hundreds of people had shown up to view the heavens. Every night we give tours of the night sky and that is what this man is doing. Overhead you can see the center of our own galaxy, the Milky Way.

Thank you so much for your recommendation and beautiful comment ~Monastor :hug: And thank you to ^KevLewis aswell for actually featuring it! :giggle:
