It sometimes feels like Mars , Pluto , and planets beyond our solar system get all the attention . But permit ’s be real : Earth is the best goddam satellite period . And in slip you ’d forgotten it , this brilliant timelapse of the Mojave desert at Nox ought to prompt you .
MOJAVE BLUES was shoot and edit by astrophotographer Harun Mehmedinovic . It ’s part ofProject SKYGLOW , an on-going collaboration between Mehmedinovic and Gavin Heffernan , who are traveling the res publica , discovering unagitated , beautiful , and under - appreciated landscape that tender resplendent views of the night sky .
The essential item of SKYGLOW is to raise knowingness of urban swooning defilement . But this picture in particular — which features an explode meteorite and a rare flash of zodiacal Inner Light — does so much more . It reminds us that the sum aggregate of our existence is contained on a touch of rock floating in a immense starry ocean .
surely , we can block out those star with technology , but we ’re doing ourselves a ill service . A liveable , breathable planet from which we can witness all the wonders of the cosmic landscape ? That sounds like the best spot in the universe .
