Explanation:
The arc of the southern Milky Way shone brightly on this starry night.
Captured on May 4, in
the foreground of this gorgeous skyview is
the rainforest near the spectacular
Iguaçu Falls
and national park at the border of Brazil and Argentina.
Looking skyward along the Milky Way's arc from the left are
Alpha and
Beta Centauri,
the Coalsack, the Southern Cross,
and the Carina Nebula.
Sirius,
brightest star
in planet Earth's night sky is at the far right.
Brilliant Canopus,
second brightest star in the night,
and our neighboring galaxies the Large and
Small Magellanic clouds,
are also included in the scene.
For help finding them, just slide your cursor over the image.
Much closer to home, lights near the center along the
horizon are from Argentina's Iguazú Falls International Airport.
