Photographer shares heavenly inspiration

Thirty-five-year-old amateur photographer Liu Xinyu in Changchun, Jilin province, has spent most of his spare time since 2017 taking pictures of the heavens.

Last year, he and seven other astronomy enthusiasts established the Changchun Astronomical Association and began an effort to popularize astronomy, including organizing various activities on school campuses and in residential communities.

He has appreciated the stars since childhood.
