Renowned Astrophotographer and bestselling author Glenn Sturm Unveils his Fourth Book, Syzygies, Exploring the Art and Science of Solar Eclipses

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Internationally acclaimed author, astrophotographer, lawyer, philanthropist, and cancer survivor Glenn Sturm is set to release his fourth book, Syzygies, on March 17, 2025. This latest work delves into the captivating world of solar eclipses, blending technical guidance with personal narratives to inspire both seasoned photographers and enthusiasts alike.​

A Syzygy is the alignment of three celestial bodies in a straight line within a gravitational field. Most commonly, it is used to describe the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon during a new or full moon when they appear in a straight line from our perspective on Earth.

A Journey from Adversity to Artistic Mastery

Glenn Sturm's multifaceted career spans law, military service, and photography. His journey took a profound turn in 2009 when he was diagnosed with lymphoma. Rather than succumbing to the illness, Sturm embraced life with renewed vigor, channeling his passion into astrophotography. This transformative experience led to the publication of his autobiographical work, Cancer Set Me Free, in which he reflects on how his diagnosis became a catalyst for personal and artistic growth.

Capturing the Cosmos: The Genesis of Syzygies.

Sturm's fascination with solar eclipses began in 2014 upon learning that the 2017 Great American Eclipse would pass directly over his residence in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This event ignited a deep-seated passion for capturing these celestial phenomena. Teaming up with production artist and fellow photographer Brittany Lunsford Kurz, Sturm embarked on a mission to document eclipses worldwide, leading to the creation of Syzygies. ​

An In-Depth Exploration of Solar Eclipses
Syzygies serves as both a technical manual and a visual anthology. The book offers readers:​

Technical Guidance: Detailed instructions on photographing solar eclipses, from equipment selection to post-processing techniques.​

Personal Narratives: Insights into Sturm's experiences chasing eclipses across continents, highlighting the challenges and triumphs encountered along the way.​

Visual Showcase: A curated collection of stunning eclipse photographs, each accompanied by context and commentary.​

Sturm's journey of exploration, combined with his polymathic expertise, has resulted in a body of work that not only captures the beauty of eclipses but also serves as an educational resource for aspiring astrophotographers and students of the stars.
