Galaxy Coast
— Bill Shupp // FlickrTaken near Bixby Bridge north of Big Sur, CA, this is a 12 shot vertical panorama taken around 4 am this past Monday, when the Milky Way was pretty high in the sky. The glow near the horizon is a lighthouse just around the bend.
All shots are 20 seconds, except the bottom one, which is 3 minutes

M42 (The Orion Nebula or NGC 1976) Located in the “sword” of the constellation of Orion is considered a diffuse nebula, meaning there are not definite boundaries. It is also one of the brightest nebulae in the sky and can be observed with the naked eye. The nebula is an example of a stellar nursery, an area where young stars are being formed from left over gases. Approximately 700 stars are thought to be in various stages of stellar evolution within in the nebula.
