"Capturing the Milky Way Across Time and Seasons"

Astrophotographer Mihail Minkov has captured a stunning 360-degree panorama of two Milky Way arches, which are visible only during a specific time of year. The image, titled "The Eyes of the Universe," required a lot of planning and is a time-blended panorama that combines traditional panoramic stitching with its requisite images separated by four hours. Minkov used astronomy software and photography apps to plan and capture the shot, which required a total of 38 shots and around 30 hours of work.
