Explanation:
A starry night
over the city of Dubai in the United Arab
Emirates is really not so starry.
In fact,
the Moon
is the only celestial beacon to come
close to competing with city lights in this
night skyscape,
a situation all too familiar to urban skygazers.
The futuristic looking scene is
dominated by the 800 meter
tall Khalifa Tower,
presently the tallest free standing structure on planet Earth.
But for now you should also be able to make out a few of the very
brightest stars in Earth's night sky.
Capella is left of the tower and Aldebaran, Betelgeuse, Rigel,
and stars in Orion's Belt can just be identified in the heavily
light-polluted
skies.
Need some help finding them?
