Explanation:
What does Orion rising look like to a camera?
During this time of the year, the
famous constellation is visible to the southeast just after sunset.
From most
Earthly locations,
Orion's familiar star pattern,
highlighted by the
three-stars-in-a-row belt stars,
rises sideways.
An entire section of the night sky
that includes Orion was photographed rising above
enieeka, a
mountain
on the border between
Poland
and the
Czech Republic.
The long duration exposure sequence brings
up many faint features including the
Orion and
Flame Nebulas,
both encompassed by the curving
Barnard's Loop.
The
featured
wide-angle
camera composite
also captured night sky icons including the blue
Pleiades
star cluster at the image top and the red
Rosette Nebula to the left of Orion.
Famous stars in the frame include
Sirius,
Betelgeuse,
Rigel and
Aldebaran.
Orion will appear successively higher in the sky at
sunset during the coming months.
