Along the shores of Matsu Island, the sea glows with the mysterious light of bioluminescent plankton — known as the “Blue Tears.” Above, the Milky Way stretches across the night sky. This photograph captures the fleeting moment when the ocean and the cosmos mirror each other — when Earth meets the stars.
