Trees, Sky, Galactic Eye
Explanation: Is
beauty
in the eye of this beholder? Earlier this month, over
Réunion Island
in the
Indian Ocean
, a playful photographer with an eye for the sky took eight images and composed the
above intriguing picture
. The full
fisheye frame
shows
everything above the horizon
, including a lamp-illuminated landscape around the edges, and the zenith of the sky directly overhead.
The image
, however, may be more than beautiful -- it may also be a
scavenger
hunt
. Can you find the photographer's tent, the slope of a volcano (active
Piton de la Fournaise
), a picturesque shoreline, and the lights of the nearby town (
Saint Philippe
)? One remarkable feature of the
above image
is that its center
contains
the
very center
of our
Milky Way Galaxy
. Battle of the APODs:
Which of last week's APODs should be the APOW?
