There’s a great story about how Nick Risinger ended up taking all those photographs and you can find it here: The night sky in 37,440 exposures – Yahoo! News. But what really impressed me is the interactive display of the sky here at Skysurvey.org.
You really have to see it to believe it. Take your time, make it full screen and practice zooming in and out. It’s an incredible view of the sky.
It’s also like something from the science fiction film, Blade Runner, where the main character takes a photograph and is able to zoom in and out of what seems to be an ordinary picture.
Stop reading me and go see for yourself.
