August Milky Way

Legend:

Maciejkowa Góra - a small, quiet and peaceful village (only a few wooden buildings), lying on the right bank of the Narew river, a few kilometers downstream from the head dam of the Siemianówka Lagoon. You can reach this town through a maze of dirt roads and forest tracks, through Krugły Lasek and Pólko (with a place of martyrdom). A mysterious mountain of the same name rises not far from the village.

The legend says that a long time ago, Maciej, the beekeeper of the royal forest, lived on the edge of the forest. Once, on a riverside hill, he saw a great knight of the Knights Templar, clothed in armor, made impotent, and guarding buried treasures. The Templar was wounded, he was dying. The feeling of greed took hold of Maciej and he waited with growing anxiety for the imminent death of the knight. Maciej wanted beautiful Templar armor. Soon the knight died. Maciej took the armor off the corpse and put it on. He struggled to tuck the steel garment over his massive body. The armor was too small for him, but Maciej did not give up. He snapped the last latches open and suddenly felt a fever overwhelm him. He began to tear locks and bumps, tried unsuccessfully to tear the plate of the breastplate. Maciej did not manage to remove the armor. He called for help, but the scream was soft. In pain and agony, Maciej fell asleep forever on the top of the mountain, next to the deceased Templar.

To this day, terrible things are happening around the hill at night. Many locals saw the ghosts of the Templar and Maciej fighting for knightly armor. Their deadly screams often carry among the Narew meadows.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
