Milk for the Moon
image by Miguel Claro, Portugal
With the arrival of spring, the Milky Way begins to be visible in the skies of Portugal at dawn, in this image, captured in Monsaraz, in the
Alqueva´s Dark Sky Reserve, you can watch it in plenty, thanks to this mosaic of 21 images that allows a large field of view, revealing this
"arm" of our galaxy above the Convent of Orada (dated 1670). Near the center at the right of palm trees, the Moon shines brightly, although
not interfering with the giant arc of the Milky Way where it is possible to distinguish a lot of constellations like Ursa Minor, with the Polaris
star to the left of the image, until the swan (Cygnus), with its North America nebula (NGC7000) clearly visible; down to the right, we still find
the constellations of Sagittarius and Scorpius, with the brilliant super giant star, Antares.
