I photograph the universe
I use cameras and lenses to take photos
of nebulae galaxies phenomena
astronomical comets
It’s amazing to be able to interact with the cosmos.
with such portable equipment as
I use it on the big screen. You’ll see.
images I’ve done over the last few
two years in places without pollution
bright in brazil in chile and in
united states
In Brazil, 80 per cent of the
people live inside big cities
in the world two-thirds of the population live
where it is not possible to see
the structures of the dairy path naked eye
we are five billion people in the world
that we can not interact with this
magnificent part of the cosmos within a
big city
this light pollution position of the
horizon with skyscrapers and buildings
prevent us from having a real sense of what
is behind this frenzied routine of
large urban centers
we the residents of big cities
we just forget the sky
nocturnal
this my activity photograph the sky
There are two aspects that I’m passionate about.
that I love
the first of which is the following two
weeks ago I was in the center region
west of brazil making my pictures
at any given time of night the wind
simply stopped and creates an atmosphere
Very interesting intimate I was
with 360 degrees around me open
it seemed like a real planetarium’s fault
spectacular, I’m a little accustomed
with the night sky and see a lot of star but
It’s always amazing, I always feel
home when we have an environment
personal pollution-free
with an unlimited number of
star something inside us revive is
awesome is like a
release from this harsh conditioning of the
life of big cities we are
transported
the psychological state of tranquility and
of connection with nature
second aspect that I find amazing the
photography itself which occurs
our eyes have a feeding
mainly in situations of
low light
the camera can get beyond it
to see in quotation marks beyond
for example I know it has a nebula
in the region of the sky here my eyes do not
can see these nuances of
colors and brightness the camera
to see
I often get is a galaxy
diffusion in some part of the sky I recognize
to the naked eye but the camera can take a
year before color contrast and brightness
that my eyes can not see
is an activity that I
I think it’s fantastic and it’s really cool and
to see that the camera lets go
seek then by two practical actions
so that we can interact with the
night sky within big cities
the first of these is as follows
various astronomy clubs within the
big cities of brazil
here in rio de janeiro there is a
here in São Paulo also in other
cities across Brazil in these
clubs often promote meetings
in a public square or on streets where
available telescopes that you
you can get out there and put your eye
telescope eyepiece see for
example the jupiter moons the rings the
Saturn ring is very cool I’ve seen
the rings of saturn from within the
January
I’ve seen people crying people.
seeing the rings of saturn and the moons
Galileans of Jupiter for the first time
the second part that we can
interact with how we create a
another format to be in contact with
Heaven, how can we learn?
more about good astronomy your next
family trip can be a local
free from light pollution with less
light pollution one site one hostel
there are now many applications
that simulate the night sky in
any location and time you have
in the world so it ‘s very interesting you
be able to have a place on site at the inn
commission
and to be able to pass the cell
sky and goes you are getting information
of what is in heaven at that very moment
cool I make this kind of image
for three years now and as long as I
I thought what it is to happen to you here
today a phrase in search of much
feeling came to me that is the following
interacting with the universe causes me to
feel the most complete human being of mine
personal side has developed a lot in this
period of internment with my
travel with my photograph and I
I clearly perceived an expansion of the notion
of what is the nature of the universe
and especially of what is kiko or
cars that my request for our
children for example
interaction with the night sky and the
astronomy can provide a key
motivation to really drive
learning without you having to
necessarily charge them study makes
This does not make it a waste.
very large we do not use astronomy in
in schools astronomy and education
they form the perfect pair astronomy
folks
she is the charismatic mother of all
sciences for us adults what can be
important that contact with nature the
universe can serve as a nostalgia or
Exhaust valve for this frenzy
stresses that are the urban centers
so the people my invitation is as follows
is for you to interact with the converse
go for a night for a place more
away and when you had a location
farthest want you to do the
The next I want you to erase.
all the lights
I want you to look up to you
you come very deep and that you
contemplate the spectacle that passes through
our heads up every night
and that five billion people
can see
thank you so much
