Description

A man looking at the vertical Milky Way and the starry night sky. The Milky Way details and the Milky Way core pop up and make you fill awe.

I recall being awestruck by the Milky Way galaxy since I was a small child. During the summer, I enjoyed staying out late gazing at the night starry sky. After a while, my eyes would get accustomed to the darkness, and I was able to see the Milky Way.

Many years later, I still have the same fascination with the night sky. One of my passions is astrophotography. I'm really excited about taking pictures of the Milky Way core with my camera. I'm fascinated by the subtleties that emerge after a long exposure. The nebulas and cosmic dust come to life with all those colors.

This photo was taken on my summer vacation a few years back. The Milky Way posed vertically in the night sky and looked beautiful. I considered jumping into the frame and shooting a picture of myself standing beneath the Milky Way. So, here's the final image. The photo was taken in Greece's Chalkidiki region. Despite the fact that the location wasn't particularly dark, I think the final result is fantastic!

And here is an interesting fact. The Milky Way is named after its milky white look as it extends over the night sky. According to Greek mythology, this milky band appeared after the goddess Hera splashed milk across the sky.
