The photos below were captured during the journey towards Chapada dos Veadeiros, in Goiás. Every 50 km from Brasilia, we documented the night sky and light pollution. The images show the difference between the city sky and the Cerrado sky, revealing the beauty and magnitude of the Cosmos. The photos were taken with the same camera and lens settings.
