This Photographer Got So Tired of Compression He Built a Photo-Sharing Website Without It

A lighthouse with attached buildings stands on rocky cliffs by the ocean under a cloudy sky. In a closer view, people walk near the lighthouse and a red-roofed brick building, with waves crashing on rocks below.

As camera megapixel counts keep rising, the limitations of online photo sharing only become more apparent. Most photographers share photos online via platforms that use heavy-duty compression, making images look noticeably worse. While this isn't always a big deal, it can be, especially when trying to share with clients. To solve this issue, a Japanese developer built HiRezGo, an online sharing service that promises to show photos in full quality.

Hubble Delivers Beautiful Photo of a Glowing Cosmic Chandelier

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is still going strong and delivering unbelievably beautiful deep-space images. The latest Hubble image shows globular cluster NGC 6723, sometimes called the Chandelier Cluster. This name is well-earned, as it is an extremely dense stellar cluster, each star looking a little light on a giant cosmic chandelier.

How to Turn a Flat, Noisy RAW Into a Finished Milky Way Photograph

Two night landscapes: Left, the Milky Way over mountains reflected in a calm lake; right, the Milky Way stretches above trees and a rustic wooden cabin under a clear star-filled sky.

The Milky Way that arched over the Tetons looked nothing like the RAW file that came home. At two in the morning, on Matt Suess' camera, it glowed. On his computer the next day it was flat and gray, the core buried in noise, the color drained out. Every photographer who has pointed a camera at the night sky knows that gap between the glow on the camera and the flat file the next morning. Getting that glow back is the real work.

This Is the Most Detailed Photo of the Milky Way’s Center Ever Taken

A dense field of stars and cosmic dust fills the image, creating a golden and reddish nebula-like effect, with bright and faint stars scattered throughout the scene.

For just over a single day, the European Space Agency's (ESA) cutting-edge Euclid Space Telescope pointed its lens toward the relatively close and extremely bright inner region of the Milky Way galaxy, known as the galactic bulge. The space telescope made good use of its time, capturing the largest and most detailed photo ever of the Milky Way's galactic center.
