Explanation:
This vacation included a sight to remember. Pictured above, a picturesque
starscape capped a serene seascape as seen from Turkey this past August. In the
above digitally stitched panorama, the Gelidonya Lighthouse shines in the
foreground before a calm Mediterranean Sea. On the left, Jupiter is the
brightest point in the image and since on the same side of the Sun as the
Earth, was near its yearly brightest. Glowing just shy of magnitude -3, Jupiter
was brighter than any star in the sky, and brighter even than Mars was during
its famously bright opposition of 2003 August. On the right, the band of the
Milky Way Galaxy fades into distant atmospheric haze above the horizon. Jupiter
is nearing the closest part of its elliptical orbit to the Sun and so will
appear even brighter during its next opposition in 2010 September.
