Explanation:
Stars come out as evening twilight fades in
this
serene skyscape following the Persian proverb
"Night hides the world, but reveals a universe."
In the scene from last November, the Sun is setting over northern
Kenya and the night
will soon hide the shores of
Lake Turkana,
home to many Nile
crocodiles.
That region is also known as the cradle of humankind for its
abundance of
hominid
fossils.
A brilliant Venus, then the
world's
evening star, dominates
the starry night above.
But also revealed are faint stars,
cosmic dust clouds, and glowing nebulae along
the graceful arc of
our own Milky Way galaxy.
