In early March 2022, I had a chance to visit the beautiful Maldivian islands Thoddoo and Madivaru of Alif Alif Atoll, from where the beautiful night skies I enjoyed from the sandbank of the Madivaru Finolhu on March 4. That night was amazing. While waiting until dawn, the majestic Milky Way slowly moved up almost over my head while a beautiful conjunction of Venus and Mars appeared low over the eastern horizon. While sitting on the sandbank, surrounded by only sand and the lagoon, I truly felt the pure beauty of our planet in the Universe. The image just shows that immersive moment.
