A new image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope showcases a spiral-shaped galaxy that lies around 150 million light-years away. But NASA says not to be fooled: its peaceful state belies a violent past.
A few months ago Unistallar and Nikon announced the launch of a new smart-telescope called the eVscope 2. The two companies claimed it was the world's most powerful and simple-to-operate digital telescope for consumers. While I absolutely agree the system is incredibly easy and actually fun to use, dubbing it as the world's most powerful is a hefty over-promise.
As he prepared to end his stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS), photographer and astronaut Thomas Pesquet decided to point his camera towards the vastness of space, revealing a stunning view of the stars with Earth in the foreground.
There are two things a camera should have to be good at astrophotography: a large image sensor and the ability to manually control camera settings. Yet somehow, the Google Pixel 6 Pro manages to capture stunning astrophotographs with the press of a single button. The image sensor, though much bigger than previous iterations of the Pixel line-up, is still tiny in comparison to mirrorless or DSLR cameras. But it’s the powerful machine-learning software within that makes the Pixel 6 Pro so good at capturing the stars.
Photographs of space are usually flat, telling viewers nothing about the relative distances of stars and galaxies seen in the frame. Finnish astrophotographer J-P Metsavainio has decided to change that by creating amazing 3D conversions from his 2D photos.
The Chinese lens filter brand Haida has announced its new NanoPro Soft Diffusion Filters. The lens filters are designed specifically for capturing soft photos of the starry night sky.
There are various strategies photographers use to properly illuminate landscape at night, but a neat one that has emerged in recent times is the use of drones equipped with powerful lights. Patryk Sadowski is one photographer who has been doing gorgeous work in this niche.
If you’d asked me 5 years ago if I thought a smartphone would ever be able to capture a decent image of the Milky Way my answer would have been a resounding no. With tiny sensors and small lenses that aren’t capable of guiding much light onto the sensor there’s no way they’re ever going to be much use in such low-light conditions, right? Well, ask me the same question today and my answer would be a lot different.
I recently photographed the Milky Way over Lion Rock in Piha, New Zealand. Some people were asking how this shot was created, so I thought I'd share some of the steps.
Those who want to photograph the night sky can leverage techniques common to all of landscape photography, but they still need to know when, and where, the objects they want to capture in the night sky are going to happen. To help out with that, Telescope Guide has released its 2021-2022 Astronomy Guide and Events Calendar including the best things to see in the night sky.
Travel and adventure photography blog Capture the Atlas has released the results of its annual Milky Way Photographer of the Year, a collection of 25 stunning photos showcase the night sky from locations all over the world.
In celebration of its 30th anniversary capturing stunning images of stellar objects, NASA has released 30 newly-processed Hubble images featuring galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae.
Travel and photography blog Capture the Atlas has released the images from its third annual Northern Lights Photographer of the Year – a compilation of 25 of the best photos highlighting the aurora borealis/australis from around the world.
In an effort to research how the center of the Milky Way Galaxy formed what is known as a "galactic bulge," Scientists used a Dark Energy Camera to survey a portion of the sky and capture a photo of billions of stars.
During the peak of this year's Perseid meteor shower, photographer Matt Dieterich pointed his camera at Mount Rainier and created this photo of the meteors and Milky Way erupting from the active volcano.
Ian Norman and Diana Southern over at Lonely Speck just uploaded their full 2016 astrophotography workshop to YouTube for free. This incredible resource covers everything from getting the shot, to basic editing, image stacking, and panorama stitching. They even included the Q&A from the end of the meetup!
Travel and photography blog Capture the Atlas has released its latest installment of the "Milky Way Photographer of the Year" compilation—an annual collection of 25 photos that highlights some of the best night sky images from around the world.
Photographer Mark Humpage went outside his home in the UK this weekend and captured this amazing photo showing the International Space Station (ISS) streaking across the sky four separate times.
Amateur photographer Santiago Olay has an interesting day job: he works as a deck officer on a 280m cargo ship. But when he's not busy with his duties, often late at night, he goes out on deck tries to photograph the Milky Way from the middle of the ocean.
My name is Jason De Freitas (@jase.film on Instagram), and I'm an analog photographer based in Australia. In this article, I'll share how I shoot the Milky Way from my backyard on medium format film.
