Photographer Beth Moon came across studies linking the growth of trees with cosmic radiation and the movement of the moon and the planets, a discovery that led Moon to start thinking about the relationship between trees and stars, the subjects of her new book "Ancient Skies, Ancient Trees".

A baobab tree, Botswana. Native to Africa, Madagascar and Australia, the baobab has a unique appearance which legends say are a result of the gods being in a frivolous mood and planting the trees upside down with the roots exposed to the sky.
