Astronomer Aligning Stars on Tablet in Antwerp

Hard coastal glare turns the metal housings of the tidal survey equipment into blinding mirrors. A scientist stands beside a concrete transect line, their figure small against the industrial backdrop of Antwerp. They hold a tablet with both hands, a finger tracing a specific coordinate on the glowing screen. The device displays a star map that aligns with the clear, pale blue sky above. Small indicator lights on the nearby metal casings reflect sharp points of red and green onto the wet concrete. The subject wears a heavy dark coat, appropriate for the early winter chill. The composition places the astronomer at the intersection of the rule of thirds, showing the connection between the digital data and the physical horizon. A faint reflection of the tablet screen appears on the curved edge of a nearby metal casing.
