“The vertical panoramic view follows our magnificent Milky Way galaxy stretching above horizon, its rich central starfields cut by obscuring dust clouds. A glance along the galactic plane also reveals Alpha and Beta Centauri and the stars of the Southern Cross. Captured in the region’s spectacular, dark skies, the Small Magellanic Cloud, satellite of the Milky Way, is the bright galaxy to the left. Not the lights of a nearby town, the visible glow on the horizon below it is the Large Magellanic Cloud rising. “

If you ever get the chance, go out to any desert in Australia (we have many) and spend a few nights star gazing. The southern sky, in that kind of darkness, is startling.

I most certainly will. The night time sky opportunities in the Caribbean are also pretty awesome. :>

Glorious.
My astrophotographer kid would appreciate it too. He’s the one who took the picture of Orion that currently graces my avatar.
