The Galaxy, the Planet, and the Apple Tree

The Worn Astronomer’s Milky Contrivance arcs by this peaceable northern sky. In opposition to faint, diffuse starlight you would possibly presumably well notice sad rifts of interstellar mud clouds stretching from the galaxy’s core. They lead in opposition to shiny star Antares at the beautiful, almost due south above the horizon. The brightest beacon in the twilight is Jupiter, though. From the camera’s point of view it appears to be like to be to dangle from the limb of a tree framing the foreground, an apple tree of course. The light maritime nightscape used to be recorded in tracked and untracked exposures on June 16 from Dover, Nova Scotia, planet Earth.
