Explanation:
The central bulge of our Milky Way Galaxy rises above a sea of clouds in
this ethereal scene.
An echo of the Milky Way's dark dust lanes,
the volcanic peak
in foreground silhouette is on France's
Réunion Island
in the southern Indian Ocean.
Taken in February, the photograph was voted the winner of the
2014 International Earth and
Sky Photo Contest's Beauty of the Night Sky Category.
This and other winning and noteable images from the contest
were selected from over a thousand entries from 55 countries around
planet Earth.
Also featured in the contest
compilation video (vimeo),
the moving images are a testament to the importance and beauty of
our world at night.
