Explanation:
As midnight approached, a spectacular sky appeared.
Such was the case last month from the shore of
Lake Salda
in southwestern
Turkey.
In the above night sky panorama, rocky sand covers the foreground, while building lights
are visible across the lake.
Looking up, the
stars of
Orion
lie just ahead, while
Sirius, the brightest star in the sky,
appears to Orion's left.
To Orion's right, just above the horizon, lies the
Pleiades
open star cluster.
Arching across the sky is the
central band of our
Milky Way Galaxy.
High in the center, the stars
Castor and Pollux are visible.
Lake Salda is famous partly for its blue color that is slightly discernable even
in the above image.
