The Arc of the Milky Way
On 07/01/2024 12:10 am by Chuck Reinhart| Vincennes, Indiana
Shortly after midnight, I was able to photograph the Milky Way rising behind the trees in my back yard. I merged two photos in Lightroom to show the arc of the Milky Way. In the photo you can see the area of dust and gas called the "Dark Rift." NASA calls it a "stellar nursery" as it is here that new stars are being born.
Nikon D850, 20mm.
Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop. I merged two photos to show the arc of the Milky Way.
