sunset. The Himalaya mountains in the twilight are covered with snow. Standing on this silent land, Dai Jianfeng kept his breath. As the night deepened, he pressed the shutter again and again in the face of the starry sky in the wilderness of the plateau.
that was one day in April 2014, the first time Dai Jianfeng, in the Tibet, captured the whirlpool ripples over the Himalaya mountains, the atmospheric gravity wave caused by a strong thunderstorm over Bangladesh. Fortunately, the SUOMI NPP satellite from NASA and NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States) also recorded this rare phenomenon, forming precious ground and space synchronization data.
this dazzling star picture, published in the astronomical daily chart of NASA's NASA, and on the cover of the American Academy of Sciences in December this year, was published in 1914, a century old magazine, like natural Nature and science Science. One of the most prestigious academic journals in the field of basic science.
12 22, the Huaxi city newspaper reporter contacted Dai Jianfeng when he just finished filming in Nepal and returned to Lhasa. In Nepal, Dai Jianfeng met with a magnitude 5.1 earthquake. He exhausted his voice but couldn't hide his joy. "This time, I got a good picture."

more and more people see different stars through Dai Jianfeng's lens. But in fact, before falling in love with the starry sky photography, Dai Jianfeng's memory mostly had little star color because he grew up in Chongqing, the fog city.
"the night of Chongqing, is the traffic light, the vast sea of lights," Dai Jianfeng told the reporter, the Jialing River edge of the bright human lights, almost cover the city sky. After graduating from college, Dai Jianfeng began to work on the design of automobile exhaust system. In the nine to five years of life, he was more down-to-earth, but less looking up at the stars. In
2011, Dai Jianfeng, who grew up in foggy mountain in Tongren, Guizhou Province, first saw the starry sky at night. "Black as velvet night, full of stars, let me shock." After returning to Chongqing, he began to search for photographs of star watching and learn astronomical knowledge himself. Dai Jianfeng told reporters that after being shocked by the magnificent pictures, he began to record the idea of beautiful stars. "Want to bring this beauty to more people."
in the years, Dai Jianfeng became an outdoors "enthusiast" from "otaku", and every sunny weekend and holiday, he went out with the astronomers in Chongqing and Sichuan to shoot the stars and grope for the shooting skills. In
2012, the Astronomical Society of China invited him to participate in the documentary of the twenty-eighth International Astronomical Union held in Beijing. In the magazine "National Geographic", "astronomy", "sky and telescope", many other stars have appeared.
