🌠 What’s your favourite thing to spot in the night sky? Is it planets? Shooting stars? Or the Milky Way? 📸 aman_chokshi took this spectacular shot of the night sky on a recent visit to Phillip Island “The Clouds of Magellan. From the dark skies of the Southern hemisphere, our two closest galactic neighbours can be seen. The large and small magellanic clouds are surprisingly massive in the sky, and can often be confused with actual clouds 😉” Phillip Island is a great spot for stargazing and astrophotography – Happy snapping! 📸 #phillipisland #seeaustralia #visitvictoria #stayclosegofurther
