Astrophotographer Brendan Alexander was born in 1986 and lived his entire life in Killygordon, East Donegal, Ireland. His interest in the night sky began in his childhood and grew as he began to capture significant astronomical events in his photos. 

His photos have been featured by the BBC, The Irish Times, and NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day. 

One of Alexander’s favorite things to do is to chase the Northern Lights.
