Explanation: Which feature takes your breath away first in this encompassing panorama of land and sky? The competition is strong with a waterfall, meteor, starfield, and even a
moonbow all vying for attention. It is interesting to first note, though, what can't be seen -- a rising moon on the other side of the camera. The bright moon not only illuminated
this beautiful landscape in
Queensland,
Australia last June, but also created the beautiful
moonbow seen in front of
Wallaman Falls. Just above the ridge in the
above image is the horizontal streak of an airplane. Toward the top of
the frame is the downward streak of a
bright meteor, a small pebble from across our Solar System that lit up as it entered the Earth's atmosphere. Well behind the meteor are numerous bright stars and nebula seen toward the
center of our Galaxy. Finally, far in the background, is the band of our
Milky Way Galaxy, running diagonally from the lower left to the upper right in the image but also
circling the entire sky.
