(Night Scape)
Explanation:
The awesomeness in this image comes in layers.
The closest layer, in the foreground, contains the Peak Terskol
Observatory located in the northern
Caucasus Mountains of
Russia.
The white dome over the 2-meter telescope is clearly
visible.
The observatory is located on a shoulder of
Mt. Elbrus, the highest mountain
in
Europe,
with other peaks visible in a nearby background layer.
Clouds are visible both in front of and behind the mountain peaks.
The featured
three-image composite panorama was taken in 2014 August.
Far in the distance is the most distant layer: the stars and nebulas of the night
sky, with the
central band of the
Milky Way
rising on the image right.
