For eons man has gazed at the sky and observed the milky way, the galaxy that houses our solar system. Until 1610, only an indistinct but beautiful band in the sky could be seen, but all that changed when Galileo first observed our galaxy’s individual stars.
Since the birth of astrophotography in the mid-nineteenth century, amateurs and professionals alike have been obsessed with capturing the images we now call milky way art.
You don’t have to be a space enthusiast to love milky way art prints. Anyone can enjoy stunning images like “The Central Region of the Milky Way Galaxy” and “The Milky Way Galaxy (annotated)” from Stocktrek Images, or “Milky Way Galaxy” and “Echo Satellite Trail in Milky Way” by unknown artists.
Outer space fanatics clamor for milky way wall art from photographers like Darren White. His images of natural rock formations with the milky way in the background like “Double Arch View”, “Milky Way Explorer 2013” and “Jackson Lake Milky Way” are sure to add that finishing touch to any room in your home or office.
Stocktrek has paired with photographers Alan Dyer, Dan Barr and John Davis to offer some of the best milky way photography in the galaxy. Both those who crave the latest milky way images and people who just like interesting pictures on their walls will want photographs like “Center of the Milky Way in Sagittarius and Scorpius” from Dyer/Stocktrek, “A Rocky Hoodoo Against the Milky Way, Oklahoma” from Davis/Stocktrek and “A large Bristlecone Pine in the Patriarch Grove Bears Witness to the Rising of the Milky Way” from Barr/Stockpile.
