A lot of speculation was put to end when the original photographer, Thomas Zimmer, annouced on his blog, telling how and where he clicked the photograph.“Since my initial upload one year ago, this photo has got more than 1.6 million hits,” he wrote on September 8th, 2012. He then revealed the “shocking truth” behind the picture.
Heaven’s Trail wasn’t the name he wants for the photograph. Instead, it is named ‘My God, it’s full of Stars’. Zimmer also corrected that the shot was not taken in Ireland, but in Germany – at the west coast of the island of Sylt, North Sea. The whole arrangement of stars was a happy coincidence.
