Stargazers in Lacock are set for a journey to the heart of the universe, with a new exhibition exploring the beauty of the sky at night.

The ‘Earth and Sky’ photography display at the Fox Talbot Museum features a collection of photographs by international astro-photographers, including local star-photographer Nick Howes from the Wiltshire Astronomical Society.

The images on show range from stunning landscapes with starry skies above them to close-ups of planets and images taken by the Hubble Telescope, capturing the deepest and farthest wonders of the universe.

Musueum curator Roger Watson, said: “All of the photographs show the beauty and majesty of the stars and our universe.

"The landscape photographs are fascinating, and the juxtaposition between earth and sky creates mesmerising images and adds a whole new layer to star photography."

The exhibition runs until 27 April at the Upper Gallery of the Fox Talbot Museum in Lacock, Wiltshire. Normal admission applies. National Trust members and children under five go free.
