| Is beauty in the eye of this beholder?
Earlier this month, over
Réunion Island in the
Indian Ocean, a playful photographer with an
eye for the sky took eight images and composed the
above intriguing picture.
The full fisheye frame shows
everything above the horizon,
including a lamp-illuminated landscape around the edges,
and the zenith of the sky directly overhead.
The image, however, may be more than beautiful -- it may also be a
scavenger
hunt.
Can you find the photographer's tent, the slope of a volcano (active
Piton
de la Fournaise), a picturesque shoreline, and the lights of the nearby town
(Saint Philippe)?
One remarkable feature of the
above image
is that its center
contains the
very center of our
Milky Way Galaxy.
