Fonds d’écran Milky way galaxy (7)

I shot this wonderful waterscape a couple weeks ago. I had never seen such a beautiful Milky Way in this area, I knew I had to take my camera out. The moon was the only light available and it produced an amazing effect of the lake.

The second of three images of ESO's GigaGalaxy Zoom project is a new and wonderful 340 megapixel vista of the central parts of our galactic home, a 34 by 20-degree wide image that provides us with a view as experienced by amateur astronomers around the world. Taken by Stephane Guisard, an ESO engineer and world-renowned astrophotographer, from Cerro Paranal, home of ESO's Very Large Telescope, this image directly benefits from the quality of Paranal's sky, one of the best on the planet. The image shows the region spanning the sky from the constellation of Sagittarius (the Archer) to Scorpius (the Scorpion). The very colourful Rho Ophiuchi and Antares region features prominently to the right, as well as much darker areas, such as the Pipe and Snake Nebulae. The dusty lane of our Milky Way runs obliquely through the image, dotted with remarkable bright, reddish nebulae, such as the Lagoon and the Trifid Nebulae, as well as NGC 6357 and NGC 6334. This dark lane also hosts the very centre of our Galaxy, where a supermassive black hole is lurking.

It is a composition of three pictures stitched together in Photoshop, but the street and the mountains were taken from the same place as the first Velocity image here on InterfaceLIFT.

A motorway heading in the direction of Limassol city, Cyprus. The appearance of the Milky Way in the sky was totally unexpected as it couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
