Lights of Ampimpa, a small town that houses an astronomical observatory, under a sky free of light pollution.
Summary[edit]
| Description |
Español: Con el lente de la cámara puesto mirando al Este, la panorámica de este cielo libre de contaminación lumínica revela un firmamento casi perfecto entre las Pléyades hasta Canopus, Orión asciende en el medio y Sirio asoma detrás de la montaña más al sur. Es la corona del pequeño punto de luz que proviene de un poblado llamado Ampimpa, donde uno de los primeros observatorios astronómicos de la región fue asentado en 1985. La foto está tomada a 11km del lugar, en los márgenes de una ciudad de Tucumán denominada Amaicha del Valle. La foto intenta representar el método primario que la humanidad tuvo para observar el lugar que ocupamos en el cosmos y ese método es a ojo desnudo. El cielo libre de contaminación lumínica en una noche invernal despejada trae consigo el gran sentimiento de asombro que tenemos como especie la mayor parte de nuestro tiempo en este planeta. Y aunque los nuevos dispositivos nos acerquen lo inalcanzable, la contemplación libre de intermediarios entre la bóveda y el ojo humano es el principal movilizador común entre un astrónomo consagrado y un nómada sediento en el desierto.
English: With the camera lens facing east, the panoramic view of this light pollution-free sky reveals an almost perfect firmament between the Pleiades to Canopus, Orion rising in the middle and Sirius looming behind the southernmost mountain. It is the crown of the small point of light that comes from a town called Ampimpa, where one of the first astronomical observatories in the region was established in 1985. The photo is taken 11km from the place, on the outskirts of a city in Tucumán called Amaicha del Valle. The photo attempts to represent the primary method that humanity had to observe our place in the cosmos and that method is with the naked eye. The sky free of light pollution on a clear winter night brings with it the great feeling of awe we have as a species most of our time on this planet. And although new devices bring us closer to the unattainable, contemplation free of intermediaries between the vault and the human eye is the main common mobilizer between a consecrated astronomer and a thirsty nomad in the desert. |

I did this work to try to demonstrate that, sometimes, less electric light can cause greater astonishment than a cell phone screen.
