Milky Way at Nambung Desert, Western Australia by Trevor Dobson Nikon d810a 50mm ISO 6400 f/2.8 Foreground: 15 x 25 seconds Sky: 41 x 30 seconds iOptron SkyTracker Hoya Red Intensifier filter This is a 56 shot panorama of the Milky Way above Nambung Desert, about 2 hours north of Perth in Western Australia. This is about 15 minutes south of The Pinnacles and is a roughly 4 square km area of pure white sand dunes adjacent to the main coastal road, so only a short walk from the roadside to the dunes. Prominent in this image are the Large & Small Magellanic Clouds just above the horizon and right of centre, just above the LMC is the pink Carina Nebula and to the left of that is the dark Coalsack Nebula with Crux to its immediate right. And of course that's me standing and admiring the entire scene :) https://flic.kr/p/2nyDtkH

Milky Way and Zodiacal Light over Australian Pinnacles Image Credit & Copyright: Jingyi Zhang

Explanation: What strange world is this? Earth. In the foreground of the featured image are the Pinnacles, unusual rock spires in Nambung National Park in Western Australia. Made of ancient sea shells (limestone), how these human-sized picturesque spires formed remains a topic of research. The picturesque panorama was taken in 2017 September. A ray of zodiacal light, sunlight reflected by dust grains orbiting between the planets in the Solar System, rises from the horizon near the image center. Arching across the top is the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. The planets Jupiter and Saturn, as well as several famous stars are also visible in the background night sky.
