Description

It's that time of the year again where the galactic bulge of the Milkyway galactic core peeks from the horizon in the wee hours of the morning. Of course, I could not miss this chance because we do not get such views of the Milkyway galaxy up north in UK.

What you see here is the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, which is a complex of interstellar clouds with different nebulae. It is one of the closest star-forming regions to the Solar System. To me, it's just so awesome that we can capture dust and light that was emitted millions of years ago. Hope you enjoy!
