been on half dome a couple times, but no where near as impressive as this view..
> Stars come in bunches. The most famous bunch of stars on the sky is the Pleiades, a bright cluster that can be easily seen with the unaided eye. The Pleiades lies only about 450 light years away, formed about 100 million years ago, and will likely last about another 250 million years. Our Sun was likely born in a star cluster, but now, being about 4.5 billion years old, its stellar birth companions have long since dispersed. The Pleiades star cluster is pictured over Half Dome, a famous rock structure in Yosemite National Park in California, USA. The featured image is a composite of 28 foreground exposures and 174 images of the stellar background, all taken from the same location and by the same camera on the same night in October 2019. After calculating the timing of a future juxtaposition of the Pleiades and Half Dome, the astro-photrographer was unexpectedly rewarded by an electrical blackout, making the background sky unusually dark.

This video was filmed inside the Arctic Circle, just between the Canada-Alaska-Russia border.

This phenomenon can only be observed once a year, for 36 seconds. The moon appears and disappears.
Immediately afterward, there is a 5-second total solar eclipse. pic.twitter.com/YwatPL26qg

#gobearsQuote:
Whenever the opposition of Mars occurs, it's interesting to follow its looping path in the sky relative to the stars. The approach of the Earth to the Red Planet, and its progressive distancing, due to a perspective effect, causes a double inversion of the apparent motion of the latter, creating what appears to be a noose in the sky. These images of Mars were taken from August 12, 2022, to March 22, 2023, every night, weather permitting. They were aligned with the background stars in the rich star field of the constellation of Taurus.
In February 2023, Comet C/2022_E3 (ZTF) , crossed the loop of Mars. Note the Pleiades star cluster at right center.
Photo Details: Background is a sum of 13 images taken on a very clear night from the top of Mount Cadrigna (1,304 m), Italy, on the evening of December 27, 2022..

Explanation: If you could fly over Mars, what might you see? The featured image shows exactly this in the form of a Mars Express vista captured over a particularly interesting region on Mars in July. The picture's most famous feature is Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the Solar System, visible on the upper right. Another large Martian volcano is visible on the right horizon: Pavonis Mons. Several circular impact craters can be seen on the surface of the aptly named red planet. Impressively, this image was timed to capture the dark and doomed Martian moon Phobos, visible just left of center. The surface feature on the lower left, known as Orcus Patera, is unusual for its large size and oblong shape, and mysterious because the processes that created it still remain unknown. ESA's robotic Mars Express spacecraft was launched in 2003 and, among many notable science discoveries, bolstered evidence that Mars was once home to large bodies of water.
