borderless sky. cinema first in the skies above have always fascinated humans when they've inspired them to reflect on the origins of our world and our very existence and existence. band push oil is one of the five astro photographers portrayed in the movie. one of my fascination with stars began when i was a kid i think i read one of those children science books my favorite edition was the one titled the first star it had a bright nebula on its cover which caught my attention so i just had to read it and since then i've been mad about the cosmos. for senate mr. banta push i'd specializes in time lapse photography and scours the globe in search of the perfect picture.

12:35 pm
history fascinating thought a star like then i've been a sickness constellation is one thousand six hundred light years away. that means we're seeing what it looked like in four hundred seeing. the so the starry sky is like a real time machine allowing us to look into the past we can in the for gungho shown . here in cologne all bands push towards camera captures there is a blank lit up sky rather than stars. urban light pollution makes it practically impossible to spot anything up above. looking up into the starry night also means thinking about our genesis about the won't solve them in the vastness of space and light pollution is everywhere in the western civilized world and blah. best we can to do that's all. we really haven if our planet is all there is. and ignore those myriad alternative worlds out
12:36 pm
there and also get it for when. luckily we have astro photographers like down push light to remind us of those worlds and the mystical northern lights encourage us to keep gazing skywards. well like the stars in the sky another major fascination is how the vikings lived over one thousand years ago and one of the best places to get an accurate impression is the head of the settlement and the den of x. fortress in northern germany between the eighth and the eleventh centuries these guys were at the center of the trade networks between northern and western europe today seven viking houses and a landing bridge invite visitors to experience what life was like back then. viking's life was not for the fainthearted the men hunted for food with bows and
