Desert Dark Night
Bright planet Jupiter shines along the brightest region of the Milky Way; the galaxy’s central bulge in the constellations Scorpius and Sagittarius.
The dark appearance of clouds in the image is an evidence of an ideal dark sky. Any existing local light pollution would illuminates the clouds at night. The starry sky is photographed from the Death Valley, a desert in California and Nevada, United States. — Stefan Seip
