Deep Sky

The starry sky is one of the most beautiful natural viewscapes we can see from Earth. Thousands of stars dotting the sky above our heads provoke that feeling of infinity and at the same time smallness. Humans have felt this since we first turned our eyes up to the sky.
But what lies beyond? If we were able to look farther and farther away and to study this black background of the night, what would we see?
Over the past decades large telescopes and observatories in space have spied the black background of the night and have unearthed a fascinating, dynamic and complex universe…hundreds, thousands of astronomical objects that were hidden from our view have filled our eyes with an explosion of colors, shapes and unimaginable dimensions.
