Explanation:
Simultaneous
images from four cameras were combined to construct this
atmospheric predawn skyscape.
The
cooperative astro-panorama
captures all the
planets of the Solar System,
just before sunrise on June 24.
That foggy morning found innermost planet Mercury close to the horizon
but just visible against the twilight, below and left of brilliant Venus.
Along with the waning crescent Moon, the other
bright
naked-eye planets,
Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn
lie near the ecliptic, arcing up and to the right across
the wide field of view.
Binoculars would have been required to spot the much fainter
planets Uranus and Neptune, though
they also were along the ecliptic in the sky.
In the foreground are excavations at an ancient Roman villa near
Marina di San Nicola, Italy,
planet Earth.
