THIS is one of the reasons I love Astronomy!
This blog is typically focused on technology and how to use it and how to fix it. Sometimes I focus on how others use it, and that's what this post is about. It's also about the wonders of the universe, our planet, and the amazing ability music has to enhance the value of visual art.
Every day or so I take a quick look at MLB's site to see what he has found or has to say. He is always posting videos that some astrophotographer or other has created, and he has one of the most lovely (yes, I said, "lovely") pieces up I've ever seen. It's a collaboration between Peter Mayer, a singer/songwriter with a fabulous voice and a wonderful ability to write lyrics, and Mark Ellis, one of the best nature photographers on the planet (this planet, not one of the ones astronomers've found recently). Their respective sites are excellent and you should visit them through the links here when you get a chance.
Anyway, turn out the lights in the room, and when the video starts, expand it to fit your screen, make sure it is HD, and sit back and take it in. It'll be worth it.
I promise.
