I remember seeing the Milky Way with my own eyes while lying on my back in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey as a kid.

I've never seen the Milky Way since.

“We all share the same sky, and anyone from the same culture can identify the same constellations night after night. The loss of that access and heritage is a loss of part of our humanity.”

The silhouettes of trees in the night are visible in front of a distant landscape and a starry sky that is strongly illuminated by the light of the distant villages. The sky, nevertheless, is so clear that the stars and the Milky Way can be seen.

The Milky Way's Disk is Warped. Is That Because our Dark Matter Halo is Tilted?

Astronomers have measured the Milky Way's shape and found that the disk is warped and not a flat spiral like many of the galaxies we see in the Universe. It was assumed a collision with another galaxy in the ancient past caused this warping. Observations have shown that the galactic stellar halo is tilted concerning the galactic plane, and a new theory proposes that the dark matter halo is tilted, too. This tilt might be torquing the galaxy, causing the warp that astronomers have observed.

Quite an old photo (summer 2016) but still my favourite photo I've ever taken of the Milky Way. Taken at my parents' house in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany. I haven't been able to take a photo as good as this one since!

This is not a stacked photo but a rather simple long exposure taken with my old Canon 1100D and its kit lens.

#photo #photos #photography #space #stars #milkyway #galaxy #nightsky #foto #fotografie #fotos

A photo of the Milky Way. The bottom of the photo is glowing slightly orange due to light pollution from the city. Part of a house and part of a tree can be seen as well.

Some shots of the Galactic Center I took up here in the gorgeous Berkshire Mountains. It was super fun putting all my new gadgets to work to get these shots! I’m super blown away at how much light this Sony 20mm f/1.8 G lens let’s in. These were shot at f/1.8, ISO 640, for 25 seconds. #photography #astrophotography #milkyway #galacticcenter #nightphotography #nightsky #stars #space #longexposure #night #galaxy #nature #cosmos #milkywaychasers #sonycamera #sonya7rv #sony20mmf18 #adobelightroom

We had wonderfully clear skies at #FreshwaterBay on the #IsleofWight last night, so my husband headed out to photograph the #MilkyWay

The Island is a great place for #nightsky photography as we have little light pollution over the majority of the land and seacape.

The Hubble Imaged Some Globular Clusters in an Unusual Place: Near the Milky Way's Centre

The Milky Way is surrounded by hundreds of globular clusters in the galactic halo, stripped away from dwarf galaxies long ago. Astronomers were surprised to find globular clusters near the galactic center, too. A new survey from the Hubble Space Telescope searched for globular clusters near the core, which is challenging to observe with all the gas and dust. Two well-known clusters aren't part of the bulge but happened to be passing through the region on a journey out to the halo, but some did appear to have formed near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole.

Cows.. watching the Aurora…

While I was out wandering the country lanes at 2am, as you do, I came across this group of cows all facing north, at about the same time a rather spectacular outburst of Aurora occurred.. it was brief, and once it subsided, they moved away.

Two quick shots at the #Milkyway, one taken from our terrace and the other from behind the house.

First photo shows a lot of light pollution from the city of Halkida (which is about 20 km from here) but also from Athens (c. 75km).

The second one shows some kind of antique space craft … or is it just the antenna on our roof? 🤭

I spent 10 days in July around the south of Tasmania in the hope to capture Aurora Australis with our home galaxy - this was the first night, and literally the only time the right conditions came together for about 20 minutes. A lot of sleepless nights with not many results followed 🤪.

This is the kind of dream #photography that many would like to #shoot. This #picture from Petr Horálek taken in the #Maldives last February shows the #MilkyWay over a beach, with a #meteor passing by.

What's make this #image so gorgeous is the #bioluminescence of the #planktons, which are even brighter than the stars.

Just a pity the #sky is polluted by artificial #lights.

#Astronomy #Sky #Space #Astrophotography #Night #Star

From the photographer: “Deep in the Indian Ocean, an emerald can be found. Not large, but truly natural and full of plants island called Thoddoo, Maldives. Proud locals produce their own fruit and vegetable, welcome the tourists with wide-open arms, and show them the importance of the true relationship to the natural heritage of the island, such as endangered turtles and other species. Unfortunately, the island itself is a source of light pollution and so it is not easy to find a good spot for stargazing. I was lucky to find one, from where I saw all the natural lights of the night. The rising Milky Way followed the captivating light of the bioluminescent plankton while a small meteor appeared in the sky, close to the Gegenschein. Even if the tourist ship turned on its bright light in the distance, still remember the best of the dark skies there.”

This is Arp 271, a pair of spiral galaxies locked in a gravitational dance. In a few billion years the #MilkyWay and the Andromeda galaxy might look like this!

This is the very last #photo ever taken with the VIMOS instrument at ESO's Very Large #Telescope in #Chile, back in 2018. After I finished the decommissioning procedures that night, I decided to take one last image as a farewell, and this was the result.

A telescopic image of two spiral galaxies next to each other. The galaxies are nebulous structures with denser arms shaped like spirals that meet at the centre of each galaxy. One galaxy is face-on, and the other somewhat inclined, and they're almost touching. The image is sprinkled with foreground stars and small distant galaxies.

Spent the weekend in Vermont for a family birthday, and knew the skies should be dark enough for some night sky photography, but the weather didn't look like it was going to be cooperative. Ended up with a very narrow window last night to get a few shots in, so despite not having packed the tracker, got a few that were usable enough.

Here's one, from outside the vacation rental in Shaftsbury looking south towards Bennington.

After almost two months of cloudy night skies we got a break last night.

There were some really good, bright #Perseids and the #MilkyWay was superb. But from my location the number of satellites crossing the sky has changed single shot astro photography forever. This single 8 second frame has 1 meteor, all the other light trails are satellites..

I took this #photo at ESO's Paranal Observatory in #Chile back when I worked there. This wagon was donated by the FCAB (Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia). It's being restored by ESO engineer Roberto Castillo, and it will serve as a museum showcasing various astronomical instruments.

There is very little light pollution at this location and my husband took advantage of the clear conditions to grab this shot.

Those steps are a bit of a killer when you're heading back up from the beach!

A steep and lengthy tiered set of wooden steps leading down to a deserted beach. The night time sky is full of stars and the Milky Way is visible. The sea is flat calm, scrubland made from a eroding cliff surrounds the steps. The colours are blues, purples, yellow on the horizon. Ships out at sea appear as a yellow glow in the distance. A calming scene with an isolated feel.

It was taken during a yearly #photography expedition to Socotra, a remote island in the Indian Ocean that is vastly unexplored.

The photo is a panoramic astro landscape from #madagascar featuring the complete Milky Way arc over the imposing baobabs.

It is titled "Night under the Baobab Trees"
