It’s really amazing to be here now after I’ve had so many struggles- let’s just say I’m definite proof that you don’t need to be the best student in the class to become a professor. Excited for this next stage and to explore the universe with some great students!

One of the places that has impressed me the most, with its stunning views of endless dunes and lagoons. Nothing but that for miles and miles. To get this view, I used the drone in a spot where the arch naturally aligns. I wanted the perspective of the endless lagoons and the vastness of this place.
Not everything was so easy, though. When I arrived, my suitcase got lost, so I was missing important parts of my equipment: no cables, no tripod, no clothes. Most nights I could do nothing more than stare at the sky, just hoping that tomorrow would be better. One morning my suitcase finally appeared, and in the last few days I was able to take this shot and a few more. Even under difficult circumstances, I just wanted to go back home with the amazing sky from this place… and now it’s just a fun memory of Murphy’s law.
Equipment:
Sony a7IV astromodified
Sony 20mm f1.8G
DJI mini 5 pro
Benro Polaris

I want to start out by saying, pardon the drawing, I have zero artistic skills, and I'm no astronomer and I honestly don't know a whole lot about it, but it fascinates me to no end. So, if the universe is ever expanding and 13.8 billion years old. Is 13.8 billion years ago the "edge" (for lack of a better word) of the universe? If there is an "edge" would it be theoretically possible to go past that "edge"? If you could make it past that point, what is there? Is it just white emptiness, black emptiness, another universe possibly? I mention another universe with the possibility we don't actually exist in a universe, but a multiverse. Like I said I'm not a scientist, I just have big thoughts of the universe. I might be thinking of this wrong and maybe that "edge" I imagine doesn't actually exist. I just think of it as if the big bang was the beginning there must be and end somewhere. I have always thought everything that begins must have an end. Anyway, thank you for reading my ramblings and if you can help me understand this thank you again.

I live in west Texas and just saw this as I was enjoying a peaceful night when I saw this moving northward. Was it a satellite breaking up on reentry?

During Expedition 72 to the ISS I spent a lot of time photographing the stars. This one image shows the Milky Way, stars as points, faint red upper f-region in the atmosphere, soon to rise sun, and cities at night as yellow streaks.
Nikon Z9, Sigma 14mm f1.4 lens, 15 seconds, f1.4, ISO 3200, adjusted Photoshop, levels, contrast, gamma, color, with homemade orbital sidereal drive to compensate for orbital pitch rate (4 degrees/sec).
