Explanation:
This remarkable scene combines multiple exposures
recorded on the evening of January 18th from a waterside perspective in
Hong Kong, China.
It follows a young crescent Moon,
with brilliant planet Jupiter to its
left, as they set together in the western sky.
Their two luminous trails are faintly paralleled by
trails of
background stars.
But easier to pick out are the short, bright airplane trails
converging toward the horizon and the Hong Kong International
Airport that seem to offer a frenzied imitation of the
celestial tracks.
Of course, the reflection of city lights and boat traffic
follows the water's surface.
Streaking car lights define the
span of the cable-stayed Ting Kau bridge.
