Explanation:
A waning crescent moon, early morning twilight, and
Al Hamra's city lights
on the horizon can't hide the central Milky Way in this skyscape from
planet Earth.
Captured in a single exposure,
the dreamlike
scene looks southward
across the region's grand canyon from Jabal Shams (Sun Mountain),
near the highest peak in Oman, on the
Arabian Peninsula.
Mist, moonlight, and shadows still play along the steep canyon walls.
Dark rifts
along the luminous band of the Milky Way are the galaxy's
cosmic dust clouds.
Typically hundreds of light-years distant, they obscure starlight along the
galactic plane, viewed edge-on from the
Solar System's
perspective.
