I’m glad they described how they composed this. Multiple exposures, overlaid.

The sensors in these cameras are more sensitive than the human eye, and turn our planet into a front window of the galaxy.

Glad there are some dark sky areas left in Colorado.

New WallPaper.

You can see quite a number of Messier objects in that picture, besides Mars and Saturn.

Then there is the dark nebulae!
