Andreo (Deep Sky Colors)
Explanation:
Lapping at rocks
along the shore of the Island of Nangan, Taiwan,
planet Earth,
waves are infused with a subtle blue light in this
sea and night skyscape.
Composed of a series of long exposures made on April 16
the image captures the faint glow from
Noctiluca scintillans.
Also known as sea sparkles or blue tears,
the marine plankton's bioluminescence is stimulated by wave motion.
City lights along the coast of mainland China shine
beneath low clouds in the west but stars and the
faint Milky Way
still fill the night above.
Over the horizon the galaxy's central bulge and dark rifts
seem to echo the rocks
and luminous waves.
