Description
During my recent flight to Sao Paulo, I was able to
capture the rising Milky Way from one of the darkest places on earth: At 36'000 feet over the South Atlantic.
The image was captured from the flight deck of a Boeing 777-300ER and shows the Milky Way from Sagittatius on to Puppis. The dust clouds of the southern hemisphere Milky Way are an impressive sight, while the rising planet Mars is just a tiny orange dot on the horizon on the left, below the Lagoon Nebula.
Some prominent astronomical objects visible are: the Large Sagittarius Star Cloud, Dark Horse Nebula, Rho Ophichui region, Coalsack Nebula and the constellation Crux and the Eta Carinae Nebula...
As a lucky bonus, a meteor died a fiery death on the upper right of the image in Scorpius.
