Constellations and Cloudy Skies
Explanation:
Recorded earlier in July, the clouds of
planet Earth
reflect moonlight and a faint, reddish glow in
this serene sea and skyscape.
Beyond them lie the cosmic dust and star clouds of
the Milky Way
.
The near-midnight view
looks south from a beach in northern France and finds
the constellation
Sagittarius
, the Archer,
peaking above the horizon
.
Bright planet
Jupiter rules
on the right, wandering
among the stars of the constellation
Scorpius
.
Of course, the
Galactic Center
itself
is hidden behind the
Milky Way clouds in Sagittarius.
To find them, just put your cursor over the picture and
follow the arrow.
