Here's a different perspective of the Great American Eclipse by photographer Stephane Vetter. It's a "little planet" photo that beautifully combines the solar eclipse with star trails.

When a total solar eclipse occurred back on March 20, 2015, photographer György Soponyai decided to capture it in a creative way. He shot a series of photos of the sun traveling across the sky above Norway, and then stitched the images together into the above "little planet" photo of the sun being eclipsed.

Red Bull is known for its clever advertising and incredible collection of sponsored adrenaline junkies.

Dubai 360, a website that will soon allow you to explore the city of Dubai using 4K interactive 360º views, has released the first teaser of what’s to come. The teaser was captured at the Dubai International Airport and shows what over 1,000 planes entering and leaving terminal 3 over the course of 24 hours looks like... little planet style.

Estonian photographer Andrew Bodrov of 360Pano has been shooting panoramic photographs for over a decade in countries around the world. His work even spans planets: last year he released an interactive panorama created using photos shot on Mars.

One of his interesting side projects is his Little Planets series, which features stereographic projections created using some pretty interesting source panoramas.

If you enjoy your adrenaline mixed with a little bit of nausea, the above video is probably right up your alley.

Created by photographer Ignacio Ferrando, the video was made by rigging together six GoPro cameras then using the video-stitching software VideoStitch to produce a stomach-turning adventure: a little planet-style roller coaster ride.

We've seen how impressive footage shot with a drone and just one GoPro can be, but that's child's play compared to the band Booka Shade's most recent music video shoot. Employing the services of the drone cinematographers at Octofilms, they slapped 8 GoPros onto a drone to capture some psychedelic 'Little Planet' style imagery.

Swedish photographer Göran Strand created this amazing "little planet" photo (AKA a stereographic projection) that shows the Aurora Borealis overhead. He titled it "Planet Aurora".

Street View Stereographic is a fun little web app that creates a “little …

We've shared examples of stereographic projection (AKA "little planet") photography here before, but none quite like these. Sydney-based visual artist Catherine Nelson creates some of the most amazing "planets" we've seen by stitching together hundreds of individual photographs. Trained as a painter and having worked on feature films like Moulin Rouge and Harry Potter, she uses her visual effects expertise to combine the images in creative and surreal ways.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured new images of the Orion Nebula that are visually stunning and a treasure trove for astronomers that shows cosmic objects that defy explanation.

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have spotted at least 70 -- but potentially up to 170 -- new "rogue" planets floating by themselves in space thanks to wide-field images gathered from satellites and other facilities across the globe.

Photographer Joerg Daiber of the YouTube Channel Little Big World has published a 3-minute timelapse, tilt-shift-style aerial video along with a set of photos that captures one of Europe's most beautiful landscapes.

Arizona-based journalist and photographer Jim Headley recently set out on a "mission" to shoot an ultra-rare Japanese twin lens reflex camera called the Taroflex. Only 10 of these cameras are thought to still exist, and Headley is the proud owner of a fully-functioning copy in "excellent condition."

I’m often asked how I am able to take high-quality images of the solar system using my iPhone. In short, the quality of today’s smartphone cameras makes it possible to take very respectable images of the Moon and planets through a telescope with your phone – but it takes some work.

Did you know that your ordinary DSLR camera has the power to detect planets orbiting other stars? You don't need a high-powered telescope to look through either. All that's required is a DSLR, a telephoto lens, and a special contraption that helps your camera track stars.

The possibilities for photography are endless. That's the thought that crossed our minds earlier today when we stumbled across Vantablack, the new 'darkest material on the planet.'

Created by UK-based Surrey NanoSystems, this nanotube material is designed to reflect back as little radiation as possible... and it's darn good at its job. According to Surrey, the material absorbs 99.96% of all the light that touches it.

In August of 2005, one year after being launched into space, the NASA spacecraft MESSENGER performed a gravity assist swing-by of our little blue planet. As it drifted away from Earth on its way to Mercury, MESSENGER proceeded to capture hundreds of stunning photos, many of which have been compiled into this amazing time-lapse view of Earth.

Remember that amazing 360-degree panorama captured from the top of the Burj Khalifa that we shared back in January? Photographer Gerald Donovan created that stitched panorama to show what Earth looks like from the world's tallest manmade point.

If you want to see what an actual "tiny world" photo looks like when captured from that same spot, look no further than the photograph above.

We've shared plenty of gorgeous time-lapse videos of the night sky and "tiny world" images, but what do you get when you combine the two concepts? French photographer Stephane Vetter shows us with the video above, titled "Leonid and Zodiacal Light."

For his project titled "Bubbles", London-based photographer Jason Tozer photographed soap bubbles in a way that makes them look photos of planets taken from space. Unlike NASA's actual space probe photos, Tozer's images contain wild, psychedelic colors.

It looks like not even space photography has managed to escape the pixel war, but in the case of …

Creating tiny planets by projecting panoramic photographs onto a sphere is something you've probably seen before, but Dutch photographer Wouter van Buuren creates his planets a bit differently. rather than shoot panoramas from the ground, van Buuren climbs to the top of towers, cranes, skyscrapers, and bridges and points his camera in every direction below. He then takes the resulting photographs and arranges them into compact worlds.

One of the gorgeous niches of nighttime landscape imaging is aurora photography, which shows the dazzling natural light shows seen in the sky when charged particles from the Sun ripple across Earth's magnetic field.

If you're looking for a neat idea to try when it comes to astrophotography, how about creating a "little planet" photo of the Milky Way from where you live in the world? This beautiful photo was created by photographer Aditya Kinjawadekar.

Looking for a digital camera to help a child fall in love with photography? Nikon has announced the new COOLPIX W150, an ultra-durable and waterproof camera that you may want to look into.

VLC's free and open source media player is a popular option for people who want a lightweight program that can handle pretty much any video format on any platform. The project just took another big leap in compatibility: it can now play back 360-degree photos and videos.

VR is growing fast, and companies like GoPro don't want to be left in the dust. A single GoPro can't shoot 360° video, and so far multi-GoPro 360° rigs are all third party. Well, no more. Today we get to meet the Omni: GoPro's official VR camera rig.

Microsoft Research has announced version 2.0 of its Image Composite Editor (ICE) software, a free program that offers advanced panoramic photo stitching technology. If you're on a Windows machine and need a way to combine multiple photos into single shots, ICE is a download you may want to look into.

The 360 GoPro rig video is nothing new, but most of the time it's used to create footage that is likely to induce vomiting... or at the very least a minor headache. Wild Child's new music video for the song 'Rillo Talk' is different.

Created by director Aaron Brown, the video uses the little planet effect to fluidly transition between dreamy, psychedelic scenes that perfectly match the song's feel.

Inspired by the 360º panoramic images that turn the world around us into a little planet of its own, German photographer Jonas Ginter wanted to step it up. And so he decided to use video rather than just a still image.

One of the great workflow possibilities that was opened up by the advent of digital photography is the ability to easily create panoramic images. It's become trivially easy to generate panorama images, so much so that it's even become an integrated feature into smartphones.

What many photographers may not realize is that there are a number of other interesting results that can be created using panorama creation software, if you just keep in mind what the software is actually doing (and what you are actually telling it to do).

We recently introduced you to some gorgeous wide-angle photos of the interior of La Sagrada Família that were taken by photographer Clement Celma. These photos revealed Celma's love of gorgeous architecture, but they're far from his only expression of it.

Another of his photo series, called Mes Petite Planètes, literally translated "My Little Planets," takes a more interactive and panoramic approach, exploring beautiful architecture from all angles.
