Milky Way over Yaqing Monastery, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan, China. At 4000 metres above sea level, this location provides superb clear skies. Shown here are diffuse star bands of stars and dark nebulae along the central bulge of the Milky Way (upper frame), above the lights of the monastery buildings. The Milky Way is our galaxy seen from the inside, forming a band of stars and nebulae stretching across the sky. This monastery is associated with Tibetan Buddhism. With more than 30, 000 Sangha members, it is the largest concentration of nuns and monks in the world. Photographed on 10 September 2015. | |
