Milky Way over Yamdrok Lake. Night sky at the break of dawn over Yamdrok Lake, one of the three largest sacred lakes in Tibet, China. It is 4441 metres above sea level. This is a panorama view from east to west. The Milky Way in the constellation of Cassiopeia is at left. The cone-shaped glow near the horizon at centre is zodiacal light. At right is the bright central bulge of the Milky Way in the constellation of Sagittarius and Scorpius. The Milky Way is our galaxy seen from the inside, forming a band of stars and nebulae stretching across the sky. Zodiacal light is sunlight reflected from dust particles orbiting in the plane of the solar system. Photographed on 30 May 2015. | |
