Star Birth is a collaborative photograph by Gayle & John Reichelt based on a theme of explaining the life cycle of stars and the nature of other wonders in our skies by combining images. Star Birth combines a panoramic star photo by John with a photograph of a model by Gayle. The combined image conveys the reality that stars are not eternal; stars are born, they age and they die. Star birth occurs in glowing clouds in space, out of which a cluster of baby stars will emerge. Two such star clouds appear in this image: the Trifid Nebula and the Lagoon Nebula.
This series of works is part of a developing collaborative series by Gayle & John Reichelt based on a theme of explaining the life cycle of stars and conveying the reality that stars re not eternal; stars are born, they age and they die. By combining star astrophotographs taken by John with drawings or photographs taken by Gayle, the theme also illustrates the nature of other wonders in our skies. More images will be added to the series from time to time.
