Explanation:
Only two days past full, February's moon shines through thin clouds, rising on
the left in this fisheye night skyscape. The moonlight illuminates a weathered,
rounded foreground in the Alabama Hills, conveniently located east of Mt.
Whitney along the Sierra Nevada range in California, USA, planet Earth. Orion
the Hunter stands at the right, a familiar northern winter constellation.
Bright Jupiter, the solar system's ruling gas giant, is near center at the top
of the frame. Below Jupiter, Sirius, alpha star of the Big Dog, poses above a
bowed and twisted landform known as Möbius Arch, its curve reminiscent of the
mathematically famous surface with only one side. Of course, instead of using
rock, wind, and weather, a Möbius strip is easier to make with paper, scissors,
and tape.
