Explanation:
Snowy
Mont Blanc
is near the center of this atmospheric night skyscape.
But high, thin clouds fogged the skies at the photographer's location,
looking south toward Europe's highest peak from the southern Swiss Alps.
Still, the 13 second exposure finds the faint star fields and dark rifts of
the Milky Way above the
famous
white mountain.
Bloated by the mist, bright planet Saturn and Antares (right),
alpha star of Scorpius, shine through the clouds to flank the
galaxy's central bulge.
The high-altitude
scene is from the rewarding night of August 12/13, so it also
includes the green trail of a Perseid
meteor shooting along the galactic plane.
