Eagle nebula (Messier 16)
The M16 belongs to the constellation of Serpent. It contains two items, an open cluster and a much more extensive emission nebula. 7,000 light years away from us. The star cluster is young in age, only 5.5 millions of years, with a diameter of 15 light years. The nebula has a diameter of about 70 light years. It has been widely known by the photo of Hubble (pillars of creation, pillars of creation).

During my involvement in photographing the "deep sky" I missed the accompaniment of music, as my musical experience guides me. So I decided to fill my astrophotos with my music. From September 2016 as a starting point, therefore, together with the Flaming Star Nebula, I present to You, the ‘Floydish Pulsar I’, as my first musical composition (composition, performance and production by me), always inspired by these images.
Parallel Words ! and Dancing Stars I, complete my first trilogy.
Emjoy !
