EDITORS COMMENTS
This composite photograph from December 6,1981, showcases a group of young people in awe as they observe a bright comet. The image captures the essence of wonder and curiosity that defines amateur astronomers and observers. With their eyes fixed on the night sky, these budding stargazers are immersed in an extraordinary celestial event. The composition is expertly captured with a 20cm lens at f/10 aperture, providing exceptional detail and clarity. The camera used for this shot is an S. C. , equipped with a 9mm projection lens to enhance the magnification effect. The exposure time was set at one second to capture the movement and brilliance of the comet against the dark backdrop. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both scientific exploration and human fascination with space. It serves as a reminder that astronomy has always been accessible to all enthusiasts, regardless of age or professional background. Science Photo Library presents this stunning print not only as an instrument for observation but also as an inspiration for aspiring astronomers worldwide. Through its visual narrative, it encourages us to look up at the night sky with childlike wonderment and appreciate our place within the vastness of our universe.
