What you see above is the largest true-color photograph of the night sky ever created, shot by 28-year-old amateur astrophotographer Nick Risinger using six astronomical cameras. It’s not just the view of the sky from one location, but is instead a 360-panoramic view of the sky taken by trekking 60,000 miles across the western United States and South Africa starting in March 2010. The final image is composed of 37,000 separate photographs. Check out the massive zoomable high-definition version of the photo here. Via PetaPixel

About:

90 Years is a webzine devoted to glimmering art, design, ideas and people.

Look, the way things are going, we might live for 90 years. Or more.

It's a lot of time to fill, and the opiates we used to rely on are wavering.

Time to try something new. We at 90 Years are packing ourselves full of all that glimmers, to heighten our experience instead of dulling ourselves to it.

Follow along as we explore the reaches of existence, deep caves of sunkissed seas.

Submit what means something to you, ask about anything, and share, to spread the glimmering.

"Art, like the universe itself ... has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." C.S. Lewis
