The SONG and the Hunter
Explanation: Near first quarter, the Moon in March lights this snowy, rugged landscape, a view
across the top of Tenerife toward La Palma in the Canary Islands Spanish archipelago. The large
Teide volcano, the highest point in Spain, looms over the horizon. Shining above are familiar bright stars of
Orion, the Hunter. Adding to the dreamlike scene is the 1 meter diameter prototype telescope of the global network project called the
Stellar Observations Network Group or SONG. The SONG's fully robotic observatory was captured during the 30 second exposure while the observatory dome, with slit open, was rotated across the
field of view.
