He wrote: “I wanted to capture the rise of Saturn at its brightest and closest to Earth. This is a single exposure image; I caught Saturn at the verge of occulting the spire of the Freedom Tower, which was lit green. I always thought it’s not possible to frame distant space objects with respect to Earth, but I was amazed when I realized this is definitely possible.” Thank you, Gowri!
