Milky Way over Devil's Tower
This photo was taken in northeast Wyoming by David Lane and it beautifully depicts two interesting astronomical finds. One being the Devil''s Tower, which is the darker skies underneath the second astronomical find, the Milky Way Galaxy. In order for this photo to exist, it includes sixteen combined frames.
In honor of the date that this photo was posted on APOD (it was Halloween teehee) the editors included the sights of the following: Witches Broom Nebula, Cat's Eye Nebula, Wizard Nebula, Glowing Eye Nebula, Cats Paw Nebula, Red Spider Nebula, Little Ghost Nebula, Flaming Skull Nebula, a shooting star, Pluto, the 'ghost' of Cepheus, and the witch.
It's truly a beautiful image and must have been ethereal to actually see it in person.
Godspeed,
Melanie
