Dark Sky Reflections
Explanation: When the lake calmed down, many wonders of the land and sky appeared twice. Perhaps the most dramatic from the
dark sky was the central band of our
Milky Way Galaxy, visible as a diagonal band. Toward the right were both the
Small (SMC) and
Large (LMC)
Magellanic Clouds,
satellite galaxies of our Milky Way. Faint multicolored bands of
airglow fanned across the night. Numerous bright stars were visible including
Antares, while the bright planet
Jupiter appears just above the image center. The
featured image is a composite of exposures all taken from the same camera and from the same location within 30 minutes in mid-May from the shore of
Lake Bonney Riverland in South Australia.
Dead trees that extend from the lake were captured not only in
silhouette, but reflection, while lights from the
small town of Barmera were visible across the lake. In July,
Jupiter and Saturn will rise toward the east just as the Sun sets in the west.
