Description
A 360 degree panorama of the entire sky on a northern autumn night in November 2019. The Milky Way runs across the sky from east (left) to west (right), with south at bottom and due north at top. The Summer Triangle stars are setting in the west at right while Orion and the winter stars are rising in the east at left. Overhead at centre are the traditional autumn constellations of Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Perseus, Andromeda and Pegasus, among others. The Andromeda Galaxy is close to the zenith at centre. The Big Dipper is low on the northern horizon at top. Fomalhaut is the bright star between the trees low on the horizon in the southwest at right. The Pleiades and Taurus are left of centre. At top we are looking outward from the centre of the Galaxy, toward the edge of the Milky Way and toward the Perseus Arm, the next one out from ours. To the south at bottom are the faint constellations of Aquarius, Cetus, Pisces, and Eridanus. Bands of natural red airglow colour the sky, while horizon glows of blue and greenish white from LED urban lighting discolour the horizon. Snow covers the ground from a snowfall the day before.
