Cosmos Captured in the Tiny Glass Orb
On 05/17/2026 by Dhruv Patel | Zinzuwada, Little Rann of Kutch, Gujarat, India
Once seen that a Transparent glass ball inverts a image, so got an idea that how would it be it tried with Milkyway. So specially went to Bortle 2 skies in Zinzuwada, Gujarat. Was great to see the first shot, focusing the glass ball in the dark night was difficult, thought managed to get a nice inverted image in the ball. The yellow de-focused ball is the Antares Star, also the de-focused Milkyway core can be clearly seen behind.
