Astrophotography was born from the union of photography and astronomy with a single result: Magic. The celestial bodies can be seen, they are shown in their entirety, revealing the quantum beauty of the universe and leaving us speechless. In that contemplative silence, feeling lucky to be able to contemplate such an explosion of emotions, lights and energies floating in the void. Today I would like to share with you a selection of images captured by NASA that are simply indescribable. I doubt there are words to describe what we see here.
It is shocking the power that an image can have, in what way it can influence our emotion and our perception of everything around us. Sometimes abstraction can be clearer and more powerful than the figurative arts. We speak of energy, of lights, of astral formations but nevertheless they seem to speak of ourselves in a universal language and that we all perceive and can understand. Without a doubt, an injection of inspiration, beauty and wealth. The capture modalities most used to obtain these wonders are Star trall, tracking photography, lunar and planetary photographs, and the stacking technique, the latter to capture the movements and the cosmos on video.
Although below I have made a selection of images following my personal perception, you can access the official page where you will find an extensive gallery from this direction. And no, although it is hard to believe ... They are not retouched!
Spectacular photographs and a very interesting site. I will visit them again.
