Explanation:
A
drop of water
seems to hold an entire galaxy in this
creative macro-astrophotograph.
In the imaginative work of cosmic nature photography
a close-up lens was used to image
a previously made picture of a galaxy,
viewed through a water drop suspended from a stem.
A favorite of many telescope-wielding astroimagers,
the galaxy is the
Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31.
About 100,000 light-years across that majestic galaxy's
spiral
arms and dust lanes
are curved and distorted
in the image contained in the centimeter-sized droplet.
Andromeda is some 2.5 million light-years distant,
but this project was still
carried out while
spending time indoors.
