Explanation:
Stars shine and satellites glint in this clear, dark, night sky
over Wannon Falls Reserve, South West Victoria, Australia.
In fact the fuzzy, faint apparition above the tree tops is the only
cloud visible, also known as the
Large Magellanic Cloud,
satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way.
In the foreground, an
Omphalotus nidiformis
(ghost fungus) from
planet Earth
shines with a surprisingly bright
bioluminescence.
Like the Magellanic cloud, the ghost fungus was easily seen with the eye.
Its ghostly glow was actually a dull green, but it appears
bright green in digital camera picture.
Two images were blended to create the scene.
One focused on the distant stars and Large Magellanic Cloud some 160,000
light-years away.
Another was focused on the foreground and glowing fungus several
light-nanoseconds from the camera lens.
