71 Breathtaking Photos Of Starry Skies That Will Inspire You To Look Up
These stunning photos celebrate Astronomy day, an annual event for astronomy enthusiasts and the general public to share the sky together. Started in 1973 by Doug Berger, his plan was to have telescopes set up in cities so that people could enjoy views of the heavens.
The American rhyme Star light, Star bright asks for a wish, just like these breathtaking photos of starry skies inspire hopes and dreams. You'll need a few pieces of specialized equipment to take photos like these: a tripod, a camera capable of taking long exposures, and a remote trigger. Depending on whether or not you want to capture the trails of the stars as they move across the sky, you should set your exposure time to between 30 seconds and an hour. Whatever you do, don't touch the camera while it's shooting!
So happy astronomy day! Vote on our photos, or share your own pictures of starry skies.

Cookie, I'd guess standing on a mountain top! I have stood atop Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County, CA, for a view above the fog. Stunning!

If it were not for the picnic table, I can believe that somewhere in the past, our native inhabitants would have seen the sky this way, every night. I wish our sky was like this way. Now.

This one has to be a real one. Some castle I have seen in a daylight photo. In Denmark? Some tiny nation in Europe. The colors are, obviously, enhanced. Absolutely magical.

Fantastic. Lone man with nothing but nature. Beautiful. There's no words to express the beauty that these artists have created. Every one of these wonder filled arts.

Oops. Posted too quickly. My mind is being kooky. I wonder if there are framed works? All of these.

Aliens from space visiting earth, and perhaps looking toward their home stars and planet? Or, the first man and woman seeing the wonders of the universe?

What you didn't capture is the crisp air that numbs the tips of your fingers, nose and ears and has you breathing out condensation and the ambient sounds of crickets and other insects and wildlife and the spell of pine in the air . But I get the idea. Thank you for sharing with us these memories.
KwihuiHalliday 10 years ago
Yes. Thank you very much for all of these magical photographic works of art. I appreciate it very, very much.
KwihuiHalliday 10 years ago
What do I think? No words that'd be adequate to describe what I feel looking at the magical places that these artists created. Where can I purchase these works? I'd like to adorn all of my walls. When I can, soon hopefully, I'll have a gallery at my home. These, magical worlds, would be perfect. Who needs some splattered paints that's called, "art!" They may keep such works from Pollack and the like, for I much prefer to possess these works of magic. Truly amazing!
