Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Dark Sky Reflections." Our cameras head south of the Equator today (Hi Cynthia Croft!) for this scene captured on the shore of Lake Bonney Riverland in South Australia. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are on the right, and Jupiter rises above the horizon in image center. The lights from Barmera are closest across the lake, and the Milky Way hovers above it all. Several exposures from the same camera were used to capture this image in May 2020.

That is an incredibly beautiful image of Lake Bonney Riverland in South Australia as the heavens are revealed to the glory of the LORD who created and sustains all.
APOD background
"Explanation: When the lake calmed down, many wonders of the land and sky appeared twice. Perhaps the most dramatic from the dark sky was the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy, visible as a diagonal band. Toward the right were both the Small (SMC) and Large (LMC) Magellanic Clouds, satellite galaxies of our Milky Way. Faint multicolored bands of airglow fanned across the night. Numerous bright stars were visible including Antares, while the bright planet Jupiter appears just above the image center. The featured image is a composite of exposures all taken from the same camera and from the same location within 30 minutes in mid-May from the shore of Lake Bonney Riverland in South Australia. Dead trees that extend from the lake were captured not only in silhouette, but reflection, while lights from the small town of Barmera were visible across the lake. In July, Jupiter and Saturn will rise toward the east just as the Sun sets in the west."

Dark Skies - Emma Pollock
"With typically understated flair, Emma Pollock manages to transform a three minute pop song into a widescreen exploration of metaphysics, existentialism and theological enquiry. It also happens to be room-silencingly beautiful."
