Background
The round, crystal-clear qualities of the glass are similar to peering through a telescope lens, and its luminescence further enhances the viewer’s experience of gazing into the galaxy. Added luminescence in the colored sky captures the faint glow of the galaxy — a stunning effect that also shines from some of the stars.
