First of all, thank you for being you and for making good art. I am a huge fan.

I loved the recent photos of the stars you shared on your page! Was that what you were able to see with the naked eye as well? Were the photos taken in a spot with very little light pollution to get that level of clarity, or did the camera enhance the stars?

It’s more than the naked eye could see. But there’s no light pollution where I am right now, so you can walk outside and look up at the milky way.

What I see is this:

What the camera sees in a four minute exposure is this:

Tonight it was cloudy, and I thought there wouldn’t be much chance of getting anything, and I was surprised when I discovered that the clouds were moving enough that the camera, taking a 4 minute long exposure, was able to find the stars. Here’s a tiny film of a few seconds of what the camera saw…

Galactic Jewelry Pieces Inspired By The Cosmic Beauty Of The Universe

Moon Stars Jewelry is an Etsy shop catering to the star-studded whims of people. The designer incorporates metals, glitters and glass into each piece to create a multilayered pendant or stone which becomes the heart of the collection. With an extensive career in honing her craftsmanship and eye for details in the design industry, this artist captures the transcendental skyscape in her jewelry design.

She uses glass to mold a fluid space into which she dumps glitters and tiny crystals of dazzling colors to produce a realistic galactic effect. In her studio page on Etsy, she explains the inspiration behind her work, “Like the Tibetan Buddhist monks who, during the casting process of their sacred bells, threw prayers of intention written on rice paper into the molten metal (that special moment of alchemical possibility). I also do this in my own work, realizing the importance of intention, and elements that go beyond the decorative aspect of jewelry.”

The designer creates celestial jewellery pieces that celebrate the beauty of the universe. Her products can be found in her Etsy shop.

gas cloud get squished (gravitational collapse) then sometimes smaller elements can squish together to make bigger elements (nuclear fusion) and this continues as long as the smolest elements (hydrogen and helium) are in the core
