Milky Way over a steppe field, Mertola, Alqueva, Portugal. The Milky Way is our galaxy seen from the inside, forming a band of stars and nebulae stretching across the sky. At the centre of the image, lies the Summer Triangle, with blueish Vega near the top. At the upper half right side ??in the beginning of the Milky Way ??a bright elliptic and diffuse dot is the light coming from Andromeda Galaxy. The greenish horizon is surrounded and involved in airglow and some thin high clouds. Located at one o'clock shines an orange dot, it?檚 not a star, but the close planet Mars in opposition. In the opposite horizon of this large circular field ??left upper edge of the all sky scene ??lies planets Saturn and Jupiter against the dusty core of our Milky Way.
