Description
English: Photographer: Lucy Yunxi Hu

Country: China

In this black and white snapshot taken in April 2022 with a smartphone, a solitary boat rests on the shores of Lake Eucumbene, Australia, framed by the brilliant display of stars comprising the Milky Way. The prominent glow of the Galactic centre stands out against the night sky, its intricate patterns of stars and nebulae casting a striking contrast. Each shimmering dot represents a distant sun, possibly orbited by uncharted planets, underscoring the vastness and complexity of our sprawling home galaxy. The photograph receives an honourable mention in the category of Still images taken exclusively with smartphones/mobile devices.Also see image in Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10359744
