Título: | Milky Way over Buddhist stupas, China |
Descrição: | Milky Way over Buddhist stupas. Panoramic view of the arc of the Milky Way in the winter night sky over an array of Buddhist towers (stupas) at Feilai temple, Yunnan, China. At left are the peaks of the Meili Snow Mountains, with a bright cone of zodiacal light pointing to top left. Also visible is the bright light of Venus on the horizon. At right, thirteen stupas line up to salute thirteen peaks of the Meili Snow Mountains. The highest peak is Kawagarbo (6740 metres), regarded as one of the most sacred peaks in the Tibetan world. The Milky Way is our galaxy seen from the inside, forming a band of stars and nebulae stretching across the sky. Zodiacal light is sunlight reflected from dust particles orbiting in the plane of the solar system. From Earth it is seen as a cone of light along the ecliptic, the orbital path of the Sun, Moon and planets in the sky. Photographed after sunset on 24 December 2013. |
