Messier 13

Messier 13

Forward : 

  Wondering as I processes these frames, how would It be if you could stay and see somehow inside this globular star cluster. A heaven with thousands of stars brighter than as we see Venus, one squeezed into the next cover heavenly firmament...

 

  The large globular cluster of Hercules (Messier 13, or NGC 6205), belongs ti the Hercules constellation. Approximately 25,000 light years from us. With a diameter of 150 light years and consists of several thousand stars, maybe the numbers of the concluded stars reach the million. Their age, as is customary in these clusters, reaches 14 billion years.

 

   1974 was sent from Earth a radio message to that flock. Certainly when the message will get where we were targeted, after many thousands of years, this cluster traveling around our galaxy will have changed his position. The importance of the message they were one finally emerged, simple presentation technology, without yet highly practical content.

 

   Globular star clusters are spherical formations with a dense concentration of stars. The orbit around the galaxy. Located in the halo of each galaxy. The Milky Way contains about 150 star clusters. Although the origins and the general importance in galactic evolution is not entirely accurate, though it seems that it contains the oldest stars in space.

Skyros, June 2015

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 !
