Astrophotographer Took a Photo of the International Space Station So Detailed You Can See Spacewalking AstronautsFrom Germany to space, with love. Last Wednesday (March 23), astrophotographer Sebastian Voltmer captured a snapshot of spacewalk action from the ground. Using a Celestron 11-inch EdgeHD telescope on a GM2000 HPS mount and an ASI290 planetary camera to get the shot, Voltmer caught the image in the sky from Sankt Wendel, Germany. The picture was of NASA astronaut Raja Chari and the European Space Agency's Matthias Maurer who were performing a variety of maintenance tasks at the exterior of the International Space Station. Voltmer managed to capture the rare sighting shortly after sunset. Interestingly, Maurer’s hometown also happens to be Sankt Wendel, Germany, making the entire circumstance doubly amazing.Image: Sebastian Voltmer#InternationalSpaceStation #astrophotography #telescope #astronaut #NASA #spacewalk

Photographer Captured the "Impossible" Photo of the Milky Way Over the Golden Gate BridgeOn this particular evening, photographer Michael Shainblum only planned to go to the Marin Headlands to catch the sunset with his friend Joe. Unfortunately, the fog suddenly settled over the place. However, Shainblum decided not to go back home and instead "went with the flow," thinking about what he could photograph during this foggy night. Little did he know that this would be something unique. The fog that suddenly appeared out of nowhere turned out to be the perfect cover for the light pollution, allowing Shainblum to photograph the Milky Way and the Golden Gate bridge all in the same frame. The warm lights covered in fog also served as a great contrast against the cool night sky. It was a night of photography and timelapse videos.What an out-of-this-world fantastic photo!Images: Michael Shainblum#GoldenGate #MilkyWay #Photography #Surreal #Breathtaking #astrophotography

A Solar Eclipse in Antarctica, as Seen from SpaceThere was a total solar eclipse over Antarctica on December 4, 2021. The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCVR) satellite observed from 1.5 million kilometers up, and took this image with its Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC). You would probably agree that this photograph is epic. While the earth itself is beautiful, you can clearly see the shadow of the moon thrown over the southernmost continent. While relatively few people were there to see the eclipse, Antarctica has its highest population in midsummer, so those who were there were treated to a couple minutes of darkness during the months of constant sunlight. Check out what they saw, and find out more about eclipse imaging at Petapixel. -via Digg#eclipse #Antarctica #astrophotography #space
