Always Looking Up

Author: 
Isaac Osores

Artist Location: East Brunswick, New Jersey

Artist's Statement: On any given clear night, you can find local NASA JPL Solar System Ambassador, Isaac Osores, equipped with his telescope, observing planets, stars, and moons from his backyard. It is through these sessions that he captures images and videos of these astronomical objects that are often shared through his social media accounts.
 
Art Description: A long-exposure photograph taken facing a busy East Brunswick road that highlights the hustle and bustle of everyday life and our seemingly lost connection with the cosmos. These bright and distant stars, planets, and more offer an awe-inspiring perspective and I hope it serves as a friendly reminder to always look up.
