Explanation:
Two
luminous arches stretched across the dome of the sky
on this northern spring night.
After sunset on March 29, the
mountain view panorama
was captured in 57 exposures from Chopok peak in central
Slovakia at an altitude of about 2,000 meters.
The arc of the northern Milky Way is visible toward the right,
but only after it reaches above the
terrestrial lights
from the mountain top perspective.
Though dusk has passed, a bright patch of celestial light still
hovers near the horizon and fades into a second luminous arch
of Zodiacal Light, crossing
near the center of the Milky Way.
Dust in the ecliptic plane reflects sunlight to create the
Zodiacal glow,
typically
prominent after sunset in clear, dark, skies of the northern spring.
Almost opposite the Sun, Jupiter shines brightly near the
horizon toward the left.
Since Jupiter lies near the ecliptic, it appears
within the slight brightening of the Zodiacal band also opposite
the Sun called the Gegenschein.
