A vertical astrophotography image taken on a dark night, dominated by a clear view of the starry sky. Thousands of individual stars are visible against the deep indigo-blue sky, including a faint, hazy band of the Milky Way stretching diagonally across the right side of the frame. In the foreground, a dark, silhouetted landscape forms a low horizon line across the bottom, appearing to be a low hill or coastline. Below this silhouette is a dark band, likely water or a shadowed foreground. A single, distinct, bright red light, of a navigation beacon, is located in the bottom right corner of the image, contrasting sharply with the dark foreground and the blue-starlit sky. The overall mood is peaceful and vast.

today in Bologna was the last day of shooting by director Michal Lam of a documentary, shot with a 360° camera explicitly for planetariums...and I apparently was the main character.

I think I nailed it - a role for which I trained all my life.
"Can you look in the right screen? Can you click some button? Type something on the keyboard?"
And I just did, so natural, not even using stuntmen. 😅

A diagram of the Milky Way galaxy showing its spiral structure and major features, with a specific red line indicating the distance Voyager 1 is projected to travel in one million years. The title text at the top left reads: "The red line shows how far Voyager 1 will travel in 1 million years." The main graphic is a top-down view of the Milky Way. Concentric circles are marked with distances from the center in light-years (ly). The galactic center is marked. Galactic Longitude is indicated around the circumference, starting at the top, increasing counter-clockwise. Several major spiral arms are labeled, and other features shown. The red line, originating near the Sun's location, represents Voyager 1's one-million-year travel distance. It extends only a very short, almost imperceptible distance, visually emphasizing the immensity of the Milky Way compared to the probe's travel over that timeframe.
