A Window to the Stars

Photographer : Mohammad Sadegh Hayati

Location : The southern coasts of Iran

Description : This photo was taken at the time of the release of bioluminescent organisms on the shores of the Persian Gulf in 2018. A rare phenomenon that the chance to see in the world for every person only once in his life is mentioned by scientists. These creatures were illuminated by colliding with rocks and objects on the beach or by the impact of the waves, and its brightness was visible to the naked eye just like in the photo, emitting blue light. This photo shows a panorama of the entire winter sky environment with the constellation of Pisces and the comet Virtanen in the form of full trap or the whole sky.
