Explanation: An intense band of zodiacal light is captured in this serene mountain and night skyscape from April 7. The panoramic view was recorded after three hours of hiking from a vantage looking west after sunset across the Pyrenees in southern France. At 2838 meters altitude, Mont Valier is the tallest peak near center. In the sky above, the familiar stars of Orion and the northern winter Milky Way are approaching the rugged western horizon. At the shoulder of Orion, Betelgeuse is one of three bright yellowish celestial beacons. It forms a triangle with fellow red giant star Aldebaran located below Betelgeuse and to the right, and the red planet Mars. Mars shines just under the band of the Milky Way, still immersed in the bright zodiacal light.

What about that glowing figure on the low peak in front of the distant mountains?
This photo appears to cartoonish to me.
Looks like something out of a video game.
I wish they’d show us the undoctered photo for once.
That’s somebody staring into their cell phone.
Looks like a scene from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”.
Still a beautiful sight to see.
Agree. It’s been manipulated and over processed. But I like the mysterious glow or halo around the individual in the pic.☺

A mountain peak is not a very safe place to have a ghost encounter.
