An avid night sky photographer proves the naysayers wrong with this
"impossible" single-exposure image and video of the Milky Way and bright
planet Venus rising over the light-polluted skies of Singapore.
"My dream to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy in Singapore has
finally come true this morning after the monsoon season is over," night
sky photographer Justin Ng told
Space.com in an email. He captured this single-exposure shot on Feb.
28, 2014 at 6:11 a.m. local time. "Singapore is known for its heavy
light pollution and many people believe that it's impossible to shoot
stars and Milky Way in Singapore."
Dense light pollution is apparent in the photo near the horizon, just
below the Milky Way. Glowing planet Venus is visible toward the center
of the shot, above the lone tree.
"This image aims to prove the popular belief wrong and I hope to
inspire more astrophotographers residing in heavily light polluted
cities to try to capture these 'impossible' images," Ng said.
