Explanation:
Aloha
and welcome to a breathtaking skyscape.
The dreamlike panoramic view from March 27
looks out over the 10,000 foot
summit of Haleakala
on Maui, Hawai'i.
A cloud layer seeps over the volcanic caldera's edge with
the Milky Way and starry night sky above.
Head of the
Northern Cross asterism,
supergiant star
Deneb
lurks within the Milky Way's dust clouds and nebulae at the left.
From there you can follow the arc of the Milky Way all the way
to the stars of the more compact
Southern Cross, just above the
horizon at the far right.
A yellowish Mars
is right of center, near the top of the frame,
with rival red giant
Antares
below it, closer to the Milky Way's central bulge.
Need some help identifying the stars?
Just slide your cursor over the picture, or download this
labeled panorama.
