Milky Way over Yamdrok Lake. Arc of the rising Milky Way, from the Summer Triangle to Scorpius, above Yamdrok Lake, Tibet, China. The Milky Way is our galaxy seen from the inside, forming a band of stars and nebulae stretching across the sky. Yamdrok Lake is one of the three largest sacred lakes in Tibet. It is 4441 metres above sea level. The glow on the horizon is airglow, a phenomenon where a planetary atmosphere emits a faint glow when atoms are excited by sunlight. The planet Saturn is at top right, near the red-yellow star Antares. Photographed on 9 June 2015. | |
