Description
Photographed just before dawn on February 28, 2022, this surreal image captures the Milky Way stretching across the sky above the New Jersey coast. A rocky jetty leads the eye into the Atlantic as the cosmos begins to glow with soft hues of violet, coral, and rose. Venus shines brightly near the horizon, with a delicate crescent moon tucked below it. The long exposure reveals rich details in both sky and sea, blending the stillness of early morning with the vastness of deep space. This moment – equal parts celestial and earthly – feels like standing on the edge of infinity.
