APOD: 2019 October 15 - The Galaxy Above

Thank you, my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Tuesday, October 15, 2019 entitled "The Galaxy Above."

Wonderful composite image which gives a sense of the grace of God to position the earth is such way as to have views like this since we ae at the outer are of the Milky Way. This enables us to observe it.
As Sgt (Join to see) posted recently, scientists are developing capabilities to observe through the Milky Way at what lies on the other side for seemingly endless light years.

"Explanation: Have you contemplated your home galaxy lately? If your sky looked like this, perhaps you'd contemplate it more often! The featured picture is actually a composite of two images taken last month from the same location in south Brazil and with the same camera -- but a few hours apart. The person in the image -- also the astrophotographer -- has much to see in the Milky Way Galaxy above. The central band of our home Galaxy stretches diagonally up from the lower left. This band is dotted with spectacular sights including dark nebular filaments, bright blue stars, and red nebulas. Millions of fainter and redder stars fill in the deep Galactic background. To the lower right of the Milky Way are the colorful gas and dust clouds of Rho Ophiuchi, featuring the bright orange star Antares. On this night, just above and to the right of Antares was the bright planet Jupiter. The sky is so old and so familiar that humanity has formulated many stories about it, some of which inspired this very picture. ""
