Ο Γαλαξίας μεταξύ Νέας Υόρκης-Λονδίνου. New York to London Milky Way

Bright stars of Sagittarius and the center of our Milky Way Galaxy lie just off the wing of a Boeing 747 in this astronomical travel photo. The stratospheric scene was captured earlier this month during a flight from New York to London, 11,0000 meters above the Atlantic Ocean. Of course the sky was clear and dark at that altitude, ideal conditions for astronomical imaging. But there were challenges to overcome while looking out a passenger window of the aircraft moving at nearly 1,000 kilometers per hour (600 mph). Over 90 exposures of 30 seconds or less were attempted with a fast lens and sensitive camera setting, using a small, flexible tripod and a blanket to block reflections of interior lighting. In the end, one 10 second long exposure resulted in this steady and colorful example of airborne astronomy. Image Credit & Copyright: Alessandro Merga

Στην παραπάνω φωτογραφία βλέπουμε άστρα από τον αστερισμό του Τοξότη και το κέντρο του Γαλαξία μας, μαζί με το φτερό ενός Μπόινγκ 747.

Η φωτογραφία λήφθηκε κατά τη διάρκεια πτήσης από τη Νέα Υόρκη προς το Λονδίνο, 11000 μέτρα πάνω από τον Ατλαντικό Ωκεανό.
