"A Glimpse of the Sky”
In the darkness of the night sky, I have often gazed towards the boundless expanse of the sky, pondering numerous times about where the vast, dark cosmic space beyond this Earth actually begins. As long as the sun or the moon remains in the firmament, our human eyes are confined within the boundaries of this terrestrial world. But at that moment when all light recedes, our vision extends far beyond. Isn't it a strange spectacle? When light is present, we see nothing, but in darkness, we can perceive everything.
During my childhood, I read a story where in that mysterious land, there were creatures somewhat like us. Just like us, they closed their eyes to see, and when they opened their eyes, everything became invisible...
Is our night sky any different? When there is light, we fail to understand anything, yet when it is absent, countless millions of light-years away, the pathways of the universe descend upon our Earth's surface. During those childhood moments, free from the burden of load-shedding, we used to sit on the rooftop, discussing about all those twinkling stars in the sky…
The sparkling stars in the eternal sky are almost fading away from urban civilization, except in some rural areas, where you can still experience a fraction of it. However, the sky is being polluted even in those places, tainted by artificial brightness from LEDs and halogens, and the genuine radiance of the sky is diminishing. It may not last much longer, even in these dire circumstances. However, even in these challenging times, I may be among the fortunate ones who still fight against extreme adversity.
Nevertheless, the bright side of the dark sight is that the more profound celestial objects become visible as the darkness increases. In various places in this sky, the density of stars varies, and in our Milky Way galaxy, the highest density is found here. I once had a cloudless night, which allowed me to capture some pictures with my set-up, and that's what I've tried to present here."
I don’t know how you are going to explain this photograph, but in my opinion, In this picture, every single dot that is visible is actually revealing the vast, boundless, and endless sky behind it. And in those parts where there are no stars or bright nebulae, if there is no cosmic dust, there might be something deeper along that tunnel, something that may or may not exist. That light, our eyes or camera may not capture.
The point is, amidst all these colors and lights, so much is showing us, and at the same time, so much is telling us that there is so much we don't get to see."
