Constantine Lukashin, a.k.a. Delendo Lex

I’m a nature photographer based in Newport News, Virginia. My focus is to capture beauty of our environment and universe at large, from tiny macro to giant cosmic scales. As former NASA research scientist, I’m fascinated with objects of space - Moon and Sun, nebulae and galaxies.
