Explanation:
A scene in high contrast this thoughtful night skyscape is
a modern composition inspired by M. C. Escher's lithograph
Phosphorescent Sea.
In it, bright familiar stars of Orion the Hunter and Aldebaran,
eye of Taurus the Bull, hang in clear dark skies above a distant horizon.
Below, faintly luminous edges trace an
otherworldly
constellation of patterns in mineral-crusted mud along
the Uyuni Salt Flat of southwest Bolivia.
The remains of an ancient lake, the Uyuni Salt Flat,
Salar
de Uyuni, is planet Earth's largest salt
flat, located on the Bolivian Altiplano at an altitude of about 3,600 meters.
Escher's 1933 lithograph also featured familiar stars in
planet Earth's night,
framing The Plough or
Big Dipper above waves breaking on a more
northern shore.
