Explanation:
Snow blankets
the ground in this serene forest and sky view.
Assembled in a 360 degree panoramic projection, the mosaicked frames were
captured at January's end along a quiet country road near
Siemiony, northeastern Poland,
planet
Earth.
The night was cold and between trees reaching toward the sky
shine the stars and nebulae of the northern winter
Milky Way.
Near zenith is bright
star Capella,
a mere 43 light-years above the tree tops.
Alpha star of the constellation Auriga the Charioteer and part of the
winter hexagon
asterism, Capella is a well-studied double star system.
Follow the Milky Way above and right of Capella and you might
spot the familiar
stars of Orion in the northern winter night.
