See the beauty of the galaxy from the garden

Amazing photos of the galaxy through the lens of an American amateur astronomer.

Stars in the millions, even billions of light years, were captured by amateur astronomer Greg Parker from his home in New Hampshire, USA.

Despite being amateurish, Greg Parker can record amazing images like this with a telescope in the back of the garden.

Parker said astronomy is his hobby from childhood."I had the first telescope when I was 8 or 9 years old," he said.

Many of these photos are the result of hundreds or even thousands of stars' explosions occurring within one to 20 minutes.

All of these photos were taken with a special digital camera.
