A rather blistering 5am start for the second virtual #astrophotography gallery event with the IAU and @futuremeetings! But a good crowd, and really fun to listen to the photographers describe how they took these photos with a smartphone (!).

Avatars stand in front of a wall of photographs of the night school, listening to one of the photographers describe their photograph.

Great evening hearing from the photographers whose photos are displayed in the virtual gallery designed by the IAU OAO x TFOM (International Astronomical Union Outreach & @futuremeetings)! Aside from cruising the art and learning about exposures, I also met a science communicator from Indonesia and we spent a happy 20 minutes roundly abusing TikTok 🤣

There's another opportunity to visit the gallery tomorrow (May 28) at 8pm UTC / 4pm EDT / 1pm PDT.

Five avatars are examining a beautiful photograph of the aurora (I believe captured at Yellowknife in Canada)
Avatars listen to talks in a central area. The IAU Office of Astronomy for Education logo is on one wall, and a tree with red leaves is in the centre. Four avatars are neatly sitting on a bench, while others stand around the space.
