✨ “When science becomes a ⛪, even 🤫 feels like🙏”

🌌 Last night at CSIRO Narrabri with 🤝 Debojit & Gaurav → more than a shoot, it was a 🌾 field of dreams. Under the Milky Way’s arc 🌠 this dish didn’t feel like 🛠️ steel… it felt alive, a 👂 cosmic ear waiting for whispers from 🌍🌌 beyond.

For me → not just 📸 Astrophotography, but 👁️ vision, 🤝 friendship & the 🌌 reminding us how small yet ♾️ infinite we are.

🌌🍽 A dish tuned to the universe, a sky tuned to our wonder.
Beneath waves of ✨ airglow and the dusty lanes of the Milky Way,
human engineering 🎧 listens… while the cosmos whispers. 🌠👽

📖 Story —
The CSIRO array at Narrabri is more than steel 🛠 and science 🔭 — it’s a symbol of humanity’s endless curiosity 🌍💫.
After a 7-hour 🚗 journey into the heart of the night, I stood before these giant ears of Earth 👂🌎, built to listen to the silence of space.

Yet the sky was anything but silent 🌠.
Airglow shimmered like cosmic waves 🌊✨, framing each dish,
while the Milky Way stretched endlessly above — reminding us how small yet connected we are. 🌌🤍

What began as a simple timelapse ⏱ with no plan became this stacked frame of 101 exposures 📷.
As I gazed at the final result, one question lingered…
🤔 Are we truly alone, or has the universe always been whispering back? 🌠👽

📖 Story —

"Sometimes, the best window opens when the clouds decide to pause.
With rain looming, a brief break allowed me to capture this — imperfections included, like the glaring floodlights nearby.

This is a journey, not a race. Tonight, it’s about showing up, embracing what the sky gives, and remembering that 2026 holds many more nights under the stars.”

What if I told you… this isn’t a star circle — it’s the Earth spinning sideways? 🤯🌍✨

Most startrails form spirals…
But this one’s different. 🔄💫
Facing West, I captured 682 light frames 📸, each 13 seconds ⏱️, as stars set across the sky — some curving upwards ⬆️, others downwards ⬇️.

This is the celestial equator 🌌 in motion — the rare line where northern & southern hemispheres meet 🌎↔️🌍, where trails bend in opposite arcs 🌀.
It’s not rotation around a pole… it’s the cosmic divide 🧭, unfolding over hours.⏳✨

And beneath it, an old mine tower 🏚️ stood still —
a forgotten monument under a sky that never forgets. 🌠

“The stars didn’t fall. They simply moved on… one glowing moment at a time.”🌟

✨ Ever chased stars with someone who just gets it?
When like-minded souls align under a single patch of sky, magic unfolds — even in imperfection.

Stacked/Blend

With a massive rain band stretching across NSW, we found one rare pocket of clarity. Kitchener was our only shot — so Debojit and I took it.
Floodlights lit the horizon, painting the sky with haze. But sometimes, adapting to the chaos lets the experience shine through.

This frame is a quiet beginning — the first of many from that night, and a reminder that every star is worth chasing, no matter the conditions.

📡 “When Earth Listens to the Stars” 🌌

The stars don’t shout. They hum.
And beneath them, Earth listens.

Captured under the whispering skies of Narrabri, the Australia Telescope Compact Array stands like a line of sentinels—each dish tuned to the ancient signals of the cosmos. Above them, the Milky Way blazes in all its galactic glory, unbothered by time or space.

This wasn’t just a photo. It was a quiet conversation between human curiosity and the universe.

“Out here, the stars don’t just shine—they whisper. And sometimes, we answer back.”
Under the shimmering dome of the Milky Way, science and silence meet. The radio telescopes below aren’t just staring—they’re listening to the ancient symphony of the universe. This isn’t just a photo, it’s a conversation between Earth and cosmos.

🌌 Story Behind the Shot

Captured deep in the Australian Outback under pristine Bortle 1 skies, this image is a 20-frame vertical panorama of the Milky Way arching like a celestial bridge above a field of radio telescopes.

I waited for the galactic core to align perfectly with the dishes, creating a visual narrative where human curiosity meets cosmic mystery. The green glow? A touch of airglow adding surreal contrast to an already dreamlike night. Shooting in near darkness with minimal light pollution, each frame was individually tweaked to bring out maximum detail before stitching.

What you see is the result of planning, patience, and a deep reverence for the night sky.
