This gorgeous photo series by Thierry Cohen perfectly depicts what our night skies would look like if there was no atmospheric or light pollution. To create these images, Cohen took a photo of each city, then traveled across the same latitude to a desert, pointed the camera in the same direction and captured the wondrous celestial sky-(digitally montaging the images together). It is such a shame we can't peek through our bedroom curtains and see this spectacle every night.. because looking out into space is like looking out over an endless sea- it's calming, humbling and completely engulfs the chaos of everyday life.
