Explanation:
December's New Moon
brought a solar eclipse to some for the holiday season.
It also gave beautiful dark night skies to skygazers around the globe,
like this moonless northern winter night.
In the scene,
bright stars of the Winter Hexagon along the Milky Way are
rising.
Cosy mountain cabins in the snowy foreground are near the village of
Oravska Lesna, Slovakia.
The shining celestial beacons marking the
well-known asterism are
Aldebaran, Capella, Pollux (and Castor), Procyon, Rigel, and Sirius.
This winter nightscape also reveals
faint nebulae in Orion, and the
lovely Pleiades star cluster.
Slide your cursor over the image to trace the winter hexagon, or just
