Galaxy in endless spaces

Full moon over the medieval "castletown" of Monemvasia. Photo taken from the yard of the house, where one of the greatest Greek poets, Giannis Ritsos, was born and raised in. His house is right above the main entrance of the castle. Monemvasia is built on a big rock which is connected with the mainland of Peloponnisos with a narrow brigde. It is often called the "Greek Gibraltar". As it is built on the "back" side of the rock it's not visible from the mainland and offers a limitless view to the sea. It's not just one castle but two. The upper one is almost completely destroyed. Only a wonderful church and one or two buildings are "still on their feet". Besides that it's worth the effort to climb all the stairs you see on the left part ...

Total solar eclipse, corona at totality, with stars visible. The corona is a cloud of low-density plasma (hot ions) surrounding the Sun. Normally it is not visible, being obscured by the brightness of the Sun's visible surface, but it is revealed during a total solar eclipse. The moment of totality lasts for only a few minutes. Total solar eclipses usually occur less than once a year, and can only be seen from a small area of the Earth's surface. This total solar eclipse was observed from the USA on 21 August 2017. Totality lasted for just over 2.5 minutes. The time from first contact to last contact was just over 3 hours. Photographed from Idaho.
