'Universe Boy' wins photo honors from NASA, magazines and websites

Dai Jianfeng took four years to complete his transformation from automobile engineer to astronomy photographer.

His stunning work has been published on the websites of NASA, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States, and other international media sites dedicated to space and astronomy. A Japanese website even dubbed him "Universe Boy" in a story about his photos.

"Shooting the starry night is not only about the artistic beauty in photography, but also about the implementation of astronomy, geology, history, culture and meteorology," Dai said. "Sometimes, you risk your life."

NASA has published four of Dai's images online, under his English byline, Jeff Dai, as its "Astronomy Picture of the Day", including a recent photo depicting a colorful solar corona over the Himalayas.

Another shot, an image of a starry night sky over the Himalayas taken in 2014 graced the cover of the Dec 8 issue of PNAS, the official journal of the US National Academy of Sciences. The photo taken from the Tibetan Plateau showed gravity waves "revealed in a thin layer of glowing atmosphere called airglow".

"The orange colors come from excited hydroxyl radicals, and the green colors from oxygen light emissions," the journal explained. "In the foreground are the Himalayas, and astronomy photographers capturing the night sky."

Scientists from NASA and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration captured the same starry sky from space with the help of satellites, so Dai's photo provided "precious synchronous data" observed from the ground, the journal said.

The 27-year-old, soft-spoken Dai was born in China's southwestern municipality of Chongqing. In a mega city of nearly 30 million people, light pollution obscures the upper atmosphere and his childhood memories do not include a starry sky.

After graduating from Chongqing University in 2011, Dai became an automobile engineer and played video games in his free time. However, a weekend stargazing trip to Mount Fanjing in nearby Guizhou province changed everything. He fell in love with astronomy, and set out to record beautiful moments of light in the dark.

In August 2012, he published his first photo in Astronomy, a US monthly magazine. Shot in Southwest China's Yunnan province, the photo shows the Milky Way at moonrise.

On another shoot, he almost got lost when crossing a glacier. And he was once chased by nine wild dogs in the Tibet autonomous region at midnight.
