Location: Rainbow Valley, NT After the final exam, I immediately ventured alone into the Northern Territory to explore. I drove to the desolate red earth center of Australia and slept in the car for two days. When the alarm woke me up at midnight with the Milky Way overhead, I felt that everything was worth it the moment I looked up. Photos 1, 2, and 3 were taken during astronomical twilight (about an hour after sunset). This is a period that can only be seen in the wild, with stars and the last glow of the sun. Photo three even captured a meteor. This place is really desolate, not like tourist spots such as Uluru, but located in the center of the Northern Territory. However, this location has internet access and you can camp here at night.
