Great Milky Way photos typically include some earthly elements for context. These features provide framing and perspective; without them, the viewer is just floating in space. “I really like putting dramatic mountainscapes in front of the Milky Way, or going to a lake where I can get it ref...
From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk-shaped structure is viewed from within. Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s, most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars i...
Rising on the left and, under the Milky Way’s arch, is a band of zodiacal light — sunlight reflected by dust orbiting in the inner solar system. On the right, just above one of Earth’s larger sand dunes, an astute eye can find the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of ...
When set to the default setting of “Auto White Balance” most cameras will capture the Milky Way in shades of blue. And since we all know that the sky is blue, most photographers will naturally let the blue tones predominate in their Milky Way photos. That’s unfortunate because the night...
The Milky Way as seen from the International Space Station.Soichi Noguchi Astronaut Soichi Noguchi has posted a beautiful shot of the Milky Way from his unique vantage point on the International Space Station (ISS). The stunning photo also offers a glimpse of Earth about 250 miles below the o...

From our perspective inside the Milky Way, the resulting disk of stars would be seen as a band of light arching across the sky. Kant even suggested that some of the nebulae visible in astronomer's telescopes are distant, separate star systems themselves, similar to the Milky Way and he ...
