Desert nights in Abu Dhabi chasing the Gum Nebula and enjoying the views. Even though the landscape is simple, it’s just spectacular seeing endless sand dunes deep into the desert. The winter Milky Way is my favorite, and Orion has so many dusty details nearby yet to explore!

This is a amazing photograph. Looks like it could have been taken on Arrakis in the Canopus system.

Light pollution is such a bummer. I can never see stuff like this in the night sky. Just depressing to think about
