An Almost Everything Sky /Courtesy of NASA·Koen van Barneveld

This stunning sky photograph shared by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on the 23rd captures almost everything. The faint band stretching diagonally downward from the upper left is the center band of the Milky Way Galaxy. The bright line falling diagonally downward from the upper right is a bright meteor that occurred in the upper atmosphere of Earth. The faint band of light crossing diagonally through the center is zodiacal light, which is sunlight reflected off dust in the solar system. The greenish glow at the right end is an Aurora World occurring high above Earth. The zigzagging bright line at the bottom was created by light held by the astrophotographer staging the scene. The photo was taken at the end of last month on Castle Hill rock in New Zealand. The photographer combined 10 exposure photos taken with the same camera from the same location.
