Description
To the most serene view I have ever witnessed till now and one of my favorite captures yet. This was captured from a village called Tosh in Himachal Pradesh, India. It's just surrounded by serenity all over.Related content

Thank you so much, and yes, I did choose the title from that song.

It's nice, it's amazing to see all the stars in the image, is that the camera or just because of the lack of light. My area see some of the stars but not nearly so much as that.

The picture is a little overexposed, but you could still see the sky like this. I was probably at 7,000 feet above sea level, so there was no air pollution and there was no light where I was staying, so all these contributed to this.

Wow, that really means a lot. Thank you.

Amazing! Is that how the sky really looked, or is the photo more intense because of the long exposure time?
I was in Andhra Pradesh once, but never got to see the country sky at night. Apparently I missed out.

It really looked like this, and I was just mesmerized by it. This is hardly a 2 minute shit I think. Once you sat outside for two minutes you could completely see everything. And this was taken from the hills, where there's hardly any pollution so, you can guess. Thank a lot.

And, of those 694,400 stars...how many of them have a different number of planets around them and how many of those planets are habitable....and how many of them actually are???
I lover this photo! Absolutley beautiful.

Thank you so much. We have still missed on so much of it, we're just surrounded by stars and planets and it's just expanding every second. I think I need to go back to this place and just sit out all night, observe the sky and cherish it.

So... this image is 1400×930 pixel, that makes 1,302,000 pixels. I estimate that one fifth of the image is occupied by the mountains and the tree, so 1,041,600 pixels are showing the sky. The black deep space seems to be the half of this area, but on some parts the star density is significantly bigger, so let's take it one third... Meanwhile any given star should be at least 1 pixel to be visible, therefore this is about 694,400 stars on this image. Give or take about 400 because of the larger-than-1px stars and less dense areas, etc.
Fine image, anyway.

Wow, and imagine that this is just a small frame of a small portion of the universe. We're still surrounded by stars 360 degrees around us. You just broadened my thought process by this.
