How an astrophotographer captures breathtaking nebulas, comets, and galaxies
Gerald Rhemann
Gerald Rhemann started taking photos of space nearly 30 years ago.
And while his field of astrophotography takes incredible skill and dedication, Rhemann is up to the task.
From nearby comets to far-off galaxies , Rhemann has captured the universe. His work has been published in astronomical magazines, graced the cover of astronomy books, used on NASA's website, and won multiple awards.
One of Rhemann's proudest moments is when an image of his graced the cover of Stephen Hawking's 2007 children's book "George's Secret Key To The Universe," which Hawking wrote with his daughter, Lucy.
We talked with Rhemann to find out about his story, and how he captures his amazing images. Ahead, take a journey through space.
