ASTOUNDING ASTRONOMICAL IMAGES TAKEN IN GARDEN
AN ARRAY of colours, from pinks to blues and oranges, fill the night sky to create an amazing collection of interstellar patterns. Captured 20 million light years away, this is star gazing at its best. These amazing photographs were taken by English sales manager Terry Hancock, 60. He is able to capture the astounding images from his back garden in Michigan, America. ‘My astronomy photographs all show deep sky objects, many of them thousands or millions of light years away from Earth,’ says Terry, originally of Burnley, Lancashire.
