COMMENTS
"A stream of stars scattered across 15 degrees of sky was once part of a globular cluster torn apart by our galaxy’s gravity. The stars represent some of the oldest in the Milky Way. This stellar stream orbits the Milky Way on a relatively close polar orbit that takes it in and out of the galactic plane in less than half a billion years". (Monica Young, from "Celestial Ruins on Our Galaxy’s Edge”, 2022)
In “Stellar Edge” and “Capella Wind” June Wayne (1918-2011) explored the outer limits of the Milky Way. Working with printer Edward Hamilton, Wayne invented new inking techniques to express her vision.
