Explanation:
Have you ever seen the band of our Milky Way Galaxy?
In a clear sky from a
dark location at the right time,
a faint band of light becomes visible
across the sky.
Soon after your eyes become
dark adapted,
you might spot the band for the first time.
It may then become obvious.
Then
spectacular.
One reason for your growing astonishment might be the
realization that this fuzzy swath, the
Milky Way, contains billions of stars.
Visible in the
featured image, high above in the night sky, the band of the
Milky Way Galaxy arcs.
Also visible are the colorful clouds of
Rho Ophiuchi on the right, and the red and circular
Zeta Ophiuchi nebula
near the top center.
Taken in late February from
Maunakea,
Hawaii,
USA,
the foreground telescope is the University of Hawaii's
2.2-Meter Telescope.
Fortunately, you donBt need to be near the
top of a Hawaiian volcano to see the Milky Way.
