Landscape astrophotography has been a natural evolution for me along my photographic journey

The longer wavelengths of infrared light pass more easily through the dusty environs

Captured in infrared light by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope

It is large enough that it can be easily spotted by the naked eye from a distance of 170 000 of light years

NGC 602 ic 2163 in the direction of theA vivid young star cluster surrounded by sculpted gas and dust near the edge of the Small Magellanic Cloud. This proposal is based on Webb's multi instrument image of NGC 602, a star forming region in a low metallicity environment that echoes conditions in the early universe. NGC 602 offers the kind of image that works beautifully both as science and as interior art. Bright stars, dark ridges, and translucent layers of dust create a deep, dimensional
