Description

This close-up view of our Summer Milky Way‘s heart does not only show millions of stars, but also dark clouds of dust, as well as emission nebulae, a place where new stars are born.
An eyecatcher in this image is the Lagoon- & Trifid Nebula, a star forming region in a distance of about 5000 light years.

This image was taken at my trip to La Palma, Canary Islands in August 2021.
