Anthony Salsi made a name for himself with his shots of the sky. Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) Originally, this astrophysicist takes photos of the stars from his balcony, then shares them on social networks.
To the naked eye, the moon is revealed to us in black and white. Anthony Salsi prefer to observe it in color. He is not magician, but astro-photographer. “We see blue and orange-brown, and these colors correspond to the quantities of materials present on the moon“, explains Anthony Salsi. The doctoral student in astrophysics shares his wonder on social networks, with some success.
His first shots date from the first confinement. His nickname is “theastro-photographer from the balcony” and his motivation is to democratize the practice. “I have a lot of messages to tell me: ‘Thanks to you, I was able to buy a telescope for my son’ (…) These are things that really motivate me“, indicates Anthony Salsi. After having invested 200 euros at the start, he has since equipped himself with professional equipment.
