<![CDATA[The Universe in Color]]>It turns out that a coworker is seriously into astrophotography. We’re talking water-cooled CCD camera and exposures that can last days. He pointed me to Robert Gendler’s The Universe in Color. I’ve been looking at pictures there for a couple of weeks now. What a treasure trove. Many of the images have explanations about the galaxy, supernova, or object in the image.
It’s stunning to think that these images were all taken from the surface of the earth, by a non-professional, using hobbyist equipment. Hobbies are getting really serious.
Beautiful stuff. Check it out.
