Explanation:
Whats happening outside this cave?
Nothing unexpected its just the central band of our
Milky Way Galaxy passing by.
As the Earth turns, the band of our Galaxy appears to
rotate and shift along the horizon.
The featured image
was taken by a photographer who professes a passion for locating sea caves, and who
found this spectacular grotto in
Leo Carrillo State
Park near
Malibu,
California,
USA.
After
some
planning, he timed
this single shot image
through the 10-meter high
cave entrance
to show the Milky Way far in the distance.
In the foreground, several rocks about one meter across are visible.
Visible in the background starscape are millions of stars including the relatively
bright and orange
Antares,
situated just to the right of the image center.
