Breathtaking Cosmos Captures

Photographer Tyler Nordgren Documents Nightscapes of National Parks

— March 7, 2014 — Fashion
The work of Tyler Nordgren shows people how the sky should really be seen. With all of the light pollution from big urban cities, it is easy to forget the bright lights that can be found in the sky. The cosmos is vast and Tyler Nordgren endeavors to bring it to his audience one capture at a time.

A professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Redlands, Tyler Nordgren photographs the starry skies in his spare time. When he's not shooting or conducting lectures, he has been known to work on projects for Mars exploration rovers Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosity. With such a passion for the universe, it is no wonder Tyler Nordgren's photos are as beautiful as they are. He documents the breathtaking nightscapes of 14 national parks.
Trend Themes
1. Night Sky Tourism - National park organizations and hotels can offer night sky tours for travelers, tapping into the growing trend of stargazing and ecotourism.
2. Astrophotography Products - There's potential for companies to develop astro-photography gadgets and tools. This would help enthusiasts to capture the clear night sky and share the beauty.
3. Virtual Reality Cosmic Experiences - As virtual reality continues to advance, companies can create cosmic experiences that can be enjoyed at home- exploring the stars, learning about astronomy and understanding the vastness of the universe.
Industry Implications
