Shot with the very sharp Sigma 18-35 1.8f Art lens. Photo taken in Madrid the 10th of October, 2015, at 5:28 UTC, during the conjunction of Jupiter, Mars and Venus with the Moon. Three important planets plus the Moon very close together and nearly aligned. Even Mercury was alined as well, but a bit below in the horizon. Nice! And another coincidence: I realised while revealing some of the photos of this planetarium event, that the four big satellites of Jupiter (Ganimedes, Calisto, Io and Europa) were perfectly aligned theirselves as well! "Eppur si muove!". Note that the four moons of Jupiter can even be seen in this photo (you will need a good screen though). You may like to see a cropped photo of Jupiter with its moons below in my gallery. What a dawn, this one of the 10th of October 2015.
.....................................................................................................................................................................................
Who will hear us among the infinite universes? Since their beauty is something that we humans are not able to endure, to whom we will turn up for help? Perhaps there will be some angel that will aid us to understand them. Oh, and the light, the light, when the wind full of cosmic space will invade our happy coloured eyes.

All what we live in the Earth is message, but can we manage it? We are always distraught by expectation as if any moment were going to announce the arrival of somebody omnipotent (where we would place him, with all our strange thoughts coming and going, and often staying for the night...).

It will be strange to inhabit the Earth no longer, not to observe sunrises and other things that promise so much in terms of human future. It will be hard to acknowledge the precise contours of our feelings. But beyond that point of wrath and tears where is imminent the menace of the shade, the angels shall find us unafraid. Because in that moment we will be able to listen the gigantic voice of God as only saints have listened it. And we will perceive the ceaseless message that forms itself out of the silent space and sweeps towards us the immense happiness of those saints who died before.

The stars and we will be like birds in unison migrating. Thrust by cosmic wind, we will rest into lakes of light and will join forever that kind of music that is unaware, in its magnificence, of any weakness.

Out of the lights that cover us, starry nights from pole to pole, we thank the God that does exist, for our unconquerable soul.
