#SundayStills: Out of this Amazing #World

Published on March 6, 2023March 5, 2023 by Yinglan14 Comments

I think the night sky is absolutely out of this world when getting to experience it with a camera. I shot this photo in my backyard in 2019 after all the lights were turned off in the house. When I saw the photo on the tiny screen of the camera, I couldn’t believe my eyes. What was that star that’s shining so bright?

I couldn’t see it with my naked eyes and haven’t gotten Photopill (a star tracker app) on my phone back then. If I had, I could’ve pointed the phone to the sky and it would’ve told me what star this was.

Aren’t night skies just the most amazing sight especially if seeing it through a camera?

I got some pretty interesting comments when I first posted this picture in 2015. I didn’t even see it at first but many reader saw the glare that looked like an alien spaceship. Do you see it?
