In 2014, photographer Chris Levitan captured a rare and mesmerizing moment involving Capella, the brightest star in the constellation Auriga. Without any editing, your lens recorded an intriguing figure of double inverted triangle, likely caused by the diffraction of light in an ice crystal that passed through the exact angle as soon as the click click.
Capella, with its apparent magnitude of +0.24, is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, positioning itself as a cosmic beacon 42.2 light-years away. Its proximity to the Celestial North Pole makes it even more special for astronomers and sky lovers alike.
This remarkable record shows the magic that unfolds when science and art come together, uncovering phenomena that feel almost impossible to recreate. It makes you wonder—how many more mysteries does the universe still hold?
