Beautiful ongoing project by Russian artist Leonid Tishkov and photographer Boris Bendikov.

“Private Moon” is a visual poem telling the story of a man who met the Moon and stayed with her for the rest of his life.

“Each photograph is a poetic tale, a little poem in its own right. Therefore each picture is accompanied by my own verse, which I wrote when I drew my sketches for the photographs. So it turns out that the Moon overcomes our loneliness in the universe uniting many of us around it.” - Leonid Tishkov

High-res First amateur image of another solar system captured by New Zealand man 
A NEW Zealand man has been hailed as the first amateur photographer to capture an image of another solar system, after he photographed the star Beta Pictoris using a 10-inch (25cm) telescope at his home in Auckland.
The photo shows the protoplanetary disk surrounding the star. The disk  represents a developing solar system, and the material inside the disk  could develop into planets and asteroids.
