Explanation:
Orion seems
to come up sideways,
climbing over a distant mountain range
in this deep skyscape.
The wintry scene was captured
from southern Poland on the northern hemisphere's
long solstice night.
Otherwise unseen nebulae hang in the sky,
revealed by the camera modified to record
red
hydrogen-alpha light.
The nebulae lie near the edge of the Orion molecular cloud and
join the Hunter's
familiar belt stars
and bright giants Betelgeuse and Rigel.
Eye of Taurus the Bull, yellowish
Aldebaran anchors
the V-shaped Hyades star cluster near top center.
Still, near opposition in planet Earth's sky,
the Solar System's
ruling gas giant
Jupiter is the brightest celestial beacon
above this horizon's snowy peaks.
