Milky Way Shows 84 Million Stars in 9 Billion Pixels

Side Note: The two images shown above are mere crop outs from ESA’s recent hit: The 9 Billion Pixel Image of 84 Million Stars. These two focus on the bright center of the image for the purpose of highlighting what a peak at 84,000,000 stars looks like.

Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal Observatory in Chile have released a breathtaking new photograph showing the central area of our Milky Way galaxy. The photograph shows a whopping 84 million stars in an image measuring 108500×81500, which contains nearly 9 billion pixels.

It’s actually a composite of thousands of individual photographs shot with the observatory’s VISTA survey telescope, the same camera that captured the amazing 55-hour exposure. Three different infrared filters were used to capture the different details present in the final image.

The VISTA’s camera is sensitive to infrared light, which allows its vision to pierce through much of the space dust that blocks the view of ordinary optical telescope/camera systems.

Japanese photographer Yume Cyan shots awesome long exposure nighttime photographs of fireflies in a forested area near Nagoya City, Japan.

“By keeping the camera’s shutter open at a low aperture Cyan captures every bioluminescent flash of each insect resulting in dotted light trails that criss-cross the frame.”

The results are nothing short of magical.

Head over to Colossal to view more of Yume Cyan’s enchanted forest photos.

Actually breathtaking.

I would come to say that as of lately I have been happy. But to be honest I’m so deathly afraid of being happy because I’m terrible at being happy. I start to wonder how long it will last this time before I revert back to being depressed, cold and dark. I’m terrible and I can’t help but wonder if I can ever get over the fact that I probably am manic. I’m afraid that I’ll never have any true friends as it seems that I push them away. It’s sad to know that I’ll always be there when there at there darkest moments but if I show the slightest hint of the same the go running for the hills. It seems like I can;t hold onto a single person without having my trust thrown in my face. People always wonder why I’m like this but what can I say you’ve all made me resort to this. I’ve only known one person who I can truly trust but even then I do not talk to that person every day in fear that they will fade away. At times I just want my memories to die. Sometimes I just want to die. Restart from the beginning somewhere far away. Away from anybody I know and just start all over. But money, family and the people who depend on me stop me from just walking out and never coming back. I would do it but I can’t. I can’t think clearly and concisely any longer in fear that I will just bury myself again. I just want to get away. I want to walk into the forest and not come back. I don’t need anyone and clearly no one needs me. I need to get away.
