Region: Africa Site: Amboseli National Park - Kenya Date: 2013 November 15 | |||
The southern Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud (our neighboring dwarf galaxy) are photographed over Mount Kilimanjaro in a dark night of Amboseli National Park, southern Kenya. Canopus, the second brightest star in the night sky, is on the right, outshone by Sirius (top), our brightest night-time star. Carina Nebula is the red cloud in the Milky Way. On the left, the Zodiacal Light (sunlight scattered by dust in the Solar System) appears at the beginning of dawn, along the constellations Leo and Virgo.
