Fascinating Hungarian photo became NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day
According to vs.hu, the American space research office (NASA) chooses an outstandingly interesting astronomic photo every day. This is the so-called APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) and Saturday’s winner photo was made by a Hungarian girl, Adrien Klamerius.
“They informed me Friday night that my photo Heart and Soul and Double Cluster would be published the next day and, needless to say, I was thrilled to hear the great news. Being part of NASA’s APOD selection at such a young age, and, as a woman, is a great honour” said Adrien.
It took her quite some time to perfect the photo. “I photographed these two object pairs for four nights in the end of August and the beginning of September with an altogether almost 15 hour exposure time. The location was one of the highest points of the Mátra Mountains and one of Hungary’s darkest spots, the Park of Stars in Zselic.”
Anyone can send in astronomic photos to APOD, out of which the best ones are selected by the colleagues of NASA.
“I’ve always been stunned by astronomy, I’ve always loved reading about space. I got my first telescope six years ago, when I was also interested in traditional photography. In the end I joined my two hobbies and started astro-photography in 2013.”
