If somebody showed me an image of the Milky Way, I’d expect the Milky Way to be the outstanding feature of that image. And for me, this has almost always been true. Nothing can be in the same frame as the Milky Way and beat it – nothing outshines the star clusters. But, the following […]

We appreciate nature for all the beautiful landscapes and the great experiences we get to have while we trek through it. But, the universe is much more magical than how we normally think of it. As beautiful as life is on our planet, the world outside is equally magical. It’s just a shame that we […]
