Behold the Galactic Core: Milky Way from Pulga, India

What an incredible sight! I was fortunate enough to capture some breathtaking images of our own Milky Way galaxy last night from my hostel in Pulga, Himachal Pradesh, India.

Milky Way over Pulga, India

The clear skies and remote location of Pulga provided a perfect canvas for this celestial display. Witnessing the dense band of stars, the dust lanes, and the faint glow of distant nebulae is always a humbling experience. It's a powerful reminder of our place in the vast universe.

This shot, taken from the heart of the Himalayas, showcases the raw beauty of the night sky away from the light pollution of urban areas. The detailed structure of our galaxy is truly awe-inspiring.

Keep looking up!
