The Amazing Sky
Alan Dyer takes you on a photographic tour of the most amazing sights the sky has to offer.
The sky provides us with an endless show filled with beautiful sights and wondrous objects, many visible with just unaided eyes — such as auroras and meteor showers.
Alan tours us through our amazing sky using images and time-lapse movies he has taken, from home in Canada and from far-off lands in pursuit of foreign skies and spectacular eclipses.
