Star trails over giant panda habitat in China. Hour-long time-exposure image of stars around the northern celestial pole. The star trails are created by the Earth's rotation on its axis. Photographed at Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries in western China. The sanctuaries, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are the largest remaining contiguous habitat of the giant panda, a relict from the palaeo-tropic forests of the Tertiary Period (the Paleogene and Neogene). Photographed on 2 January 2013. | |
