“I’ve been trying star pictures. It's not easy to capture images in low light… initially you see only a black sky because your eyes haven't adjusted to the darkness. But, when they do, the view is magical. It's actually not that different from a summer night sky seen from Earth (if you’re far from any light pollution). Go out there and watch the stars, it’s good for the soul,” he wrote while sharing the incredible images.
