Description

Black and white photos often have a bit of a mystical, alienating vibe. This feature makes them excellent for creating the atmosphere of a far world on an astrophoto. This image shows the filaments of the  clouds of interstellar medium surrounding NGC281 as the solarwind of hot young stars blows a bubble, a kind of nest into it. In this environment there is an astroclimate different from ours, with extremely high ultraviolet radiation, which makes the surrounding gases emit light. In this light the rarer and denser details of the cloud unfold themselfs before us, creating this mystical shadow play on the camera’s sensor.
