Explanation:
City lights shine along the upper east side of Manahattan in
this dramatic urban night skyscape from February 13.
Composed from a series of digital exposures, the monochrome
image is reminiscent of the time
when sensitive black and white film was a popular choice for dimly
lit night and astro-photography.
Spanning 2 minutes and 40 seconds, the combined 22 frames
look across the reservoir in
New
York City's Central Park.
Stars trail in the time-lapse view while drifting clouds
make patterns in the sky.
Traced from top to bottom, the dashed line in the surreal scene is the
International Space Station still in sunlight and
heading for the southeast horizon.
The short time intervals between the exposures leave
gaps in the space station's bright trail.
