The Starry Night is an oil on canvas by the Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh.
These
stunning photos celebrate Astronomy day, an annual event for astronomy
enthusiasts and the general public to share the sky together. Started in
1973 by Doug Berger, his plan was to have telescopes set up in cities
so that people could enjoy views of the heavens.
The American rhyme Star light, Star bright asks for a wish, just like these breathtaking photos of starry skies
inspire hopes and dreams.

Gosh, some of these images are just incredible! I especially love the colors in #14!
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήI just love stargazing and looking into our universe. The best thing about stargazing is that ANYONE can get involved! It sounds like you need expensive gear, or that you need to attend meetings for this, but this is just not true. Many leading astronomers reckon that the best way getting started is by simply getting a pair of binoculars, a good book and to get out there!
My son and I have been going stargazing with the two of us for a few years now and we found that this book really helped us explore the skies: http://astronomygroup.science/index.php/2015/04/28/stargazing-for-beginners/
It really is worth a read. Get out there and look up!
