Awesome pic of the day(Stargazing) * 3
    #13140963 -



A True Image from False Kiva

This digital mosaic shows the night sky as seen from False Kiva in Canyonlands National Park, eastern Utah, USA. Diving into the Earth far in the distance is part of the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. Much closer, the planet Jupiter is visible as the bright point just to band's left. Closer still are the park's picturesque buttes and mesas lit by a crescent moon. In the foreground is the cave housing a stone circle of unknown origin named False Kiva. The cave itself was briefly lit by flashlight during the exposure. Astrophotographer Wally Pacholka reports that getting to the cave was no easy trek. Also, mountain lions were a concern while waiting alone in the dark to record the mosaic.

The Universe is but a cosmic being exploring itself, learning about itself and enjoying its own existence through all creatures, and all things, in an infinite dance of Life, and like a fractal tendril you are a minute part of it, and you are All of it...

Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.

A Milky Way backdrop to a stunning display of Bioluminescence.

Taken on the 1st January 2009, from Camp Cooinda on Banksia Peninsula on the Gippsland Lakes in eastern Victoria.
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism, Algae in this case.

Cause more often then not, astro-photographers use long exposure settings and mulitple photos combined to capture more light. The human just isn't as powerful.
