34. This collection of night sky objects was photographed during 2008
and 2009 (except for photos on total solar eclipse which were taken
in 1983), as the commemoration of the International Year of
Astronomy (2009) and my 60th anniversary (1949‐2009).
This collection of astrophotography is for my beloved wife, children
and grandchildren, for colleagues and next generations, who are
given the opportunity to admire the grandeur of our universe, and
to share the beauty of the night sky wonder.
The universe is your second book after the Holy Qur’an, read it
before you l it.
