He is going to make it even wider in coming years..

Pictures are photographed in North ( most likely in Finland ) so in workfiles you can see the direction what areas of milky way is covered.. and there is a lot work to do. . .

That image is amazing.

The star forming regions of our galaxy are pretty numerous and active.

And we think we are alone in universe

Pareidolia is also interesting... makes your imagination fly.
I hope some day we will see image of whole milky way as we see it from here on earth, photographed from every corner of earth.

Yep, Those belters are the future of man it seems. That is should we make it out there and find an expanse of our own.

It's even more amazing when you consider, that's what we're made of.

Wow! That is so awesomely fascinating and beautiful, and makes one realize how insignificantly small we really are in the grand scheme of things! Thank you for sharing!

There is no way we are alone in all of this. Absolutely not. We're just like them though, wondering who else is out there... unable to communicate, possibly on the same level of technology, but not super able to be anything more than the animals we are here, trying, but not able to...

No way in the cosmos... if we can find life in the most harshest of environments here, life exists in all possibilities.

And I do not discount that there is intelligent life, somewhere.. hampered by their own intricacies...
