Orion's belt rising over the lights of Coonabarabran - Photographic pose of several hours on the constellation Orion. From Siding Spring Mountain, Australia, there is a clear view to the eastern horizon, directly over the small town of Coonabarabran about 26 km from the telescopes. Here we see the three distinctive trails of Orion's belt rising above the town. The rightmost star of the line of three is Minkata, and it is within a degree of the celestial equator. The point on the horizon where it rises is very close to due east and similarly its setting point is almost exactly due west. Minkata has long been an important navigation star. and its trail is a straight line, while either side of Orion's belt, towards the celestial poles, the star trails become increasingly curved.

Aquarius Constellation - Constellation of Aquarius - Field around the Aquarius constelllation. The Helix planetary nebula appears as a red dot towards the center of the image. Aquarius (The Water Carrier) is a large but relatively insconspicuous southern zodiacal constellation and has an area of about 980 square degrees, which makes it the 10th largest. Its origins as a constellation can be traced back to Babylonian times and has usually been delineated as a figure pouring water from a jar in the general direction of Capricornus and Piscis Austrinus, themselves quite watery constellations. The Sun is in this part of the sky in February and March, following the Ecliptic. The constellation embraces many objects of telescopic interest, including the Helix nebula and the Mira - like variable star R Aquarii. Also notable are the globular clusters M2 (NGC 7089) and the Saturn planetary nebula NGC 7009. Best seen in the early evening in August

Circumpolar - Hemisphere south and hemisphere north - North and South celestial pole star trails - Photographic pose of several hours around the south celeste pole (left) in Australia and around the north pole in La Palma, Canary Islands. As the earth spins beneath the stars they appear to move across the sky from east to west. However, if one looks in the direction of the celestial poles, the stars appear to circle a single point on the sky. This is the position of the earth's axis of rotation projected into space. These pictures were made from Siding Spring Observatory in Australia, and from the La Plama Observatory in the Canary Islands, so the pivotal points are about 30 degrees above their respective horizons, which reflects their geographical latitudes

Panorama of the Milky Way - Panorama of the Milky Way - Photographic mosaic reconstructing the entire lactee path. The shots taken between summer 2008 and summer 2009 were taken from two perfect astronomical sites, the Atacama desert for the southern hemisphere, the Caldera de Taburiente in the Canary Islands for the boreal hemisphere. This magnificent 360-degree panoramic image, covering the entire southern and northern celestial sphere, reveals the cosmic landscape that surrounds our tiny blue planet. The plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, which we see edge-on from our perspective on Earth, cuts a luminous swath across the image. From this vantage point, the general components of our spiral galaxy come clearly into view, including its disc, marbled with both dark and glowing nebulae, which harbours bright, young stars, as well as the Galaxy's central bulge and its satellite galaxies.

The shots taken between summer 2008 and summer 2009 were taken from two perfect astronomical sites, the Atacama desert for the southern hemisphere, the Caldera de Taburiente in the Canary Islands for the boreal hemisphere. This magnificent 360-degree panoramic image, covering the entire southern and northern celestial sphere, reveals the cosmic landscape that surrounds our tiny blue planet. The plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, which we see edge-on from our perspective on Earth, cuts a luminous swath across the image. From this vantage point, the general components of our spiral galaxy come clearly into view, including its disc, marbled with both dark and glowing nebulae, which harbours bright, young stars, as well as the Galaxy's central bulge and its satellite galaxies.

Aquarius Constellation - Constellation of Aquarius - Field around the Aquarius constelllation. The Helix planetary nebula appears as a red dot towards the center of the image. Aquarius (The Water Carrier) is a large but relatively insconspicuous southern zodiacal constellation and has an area of about 980 square degrees, which makes it the 10th largest. Its origins as a constellation can be traced back to Babylonian times and has usually been delineated as a figure pouring water from a jar in the general direction of Capricornus and Piscis Austrinus, themselves quite watery constellations. The Sun is in this part of the sky in February and March, following the Ecliptic. The constellation embraces many objects of telescopic interest, including the Helix nebula and the Mira - like variable star R Aquarii. Also notable are the globular clusters M2 (NGC 7089) and the Saturn planetary nebula NGC 7009. Best seen in the early evening in August

Arctic ice has its minimum - September 2016 - 2016: the second lowest Arctic sea ice minimum - Arctic ice cover on 10 September 2016, has its minimum extent for 2016 (4.14 million square kilometres). The first six months of 2016 are the hottest since 1880. On September 10, Arctic sea ice extent stood at 4.14 million square kilometers (1.60 million square miles). This appears to have been the lowest extent of the year and is tied with 2007 as the second lowest extent on record. This year's minimum extent is 750,000 square kilometers (290,000 square miles) above the record low set in 2012 and is well below the two standard deviation range for the 37-year satellite record. Satellite data show extensive areas of open water in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, and in the Laptev and East Siberian seas

Brightest stars visible are Rigel (top in Orion); Sirius (top left); Canopus (below) and Achernar (bottom center). Eridanus (the Celestial River) is very well named; since it winds its way over an enormous area of the sky. It is the 6th largest constellation (almost 1140 square degrees) and wanders over a huge range of Declination. The river runs from close to the celestial equator (which runs through Orion's Belt) to its brightest star Achernar (a Eri; from the English for 'river's end'); which is at 57* south declination

Star trails are made by the combination of: the spinning of the Earth, the use of a stationary mount or tripod and a long exposure of the film. As the Earth spins, the stars begin to make concentric circles on the photograph. The closer stars are to Polaris, our North pole star, the smaller their circles. Thar farther away they are, the larger their circles

Symbol of the Northern hemisphere sky, the big Dipper can also be seen from the Northern regions of the Southern hemisphere. This image showing the big dipper “” upside - down”” was taken in the Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) in the San Pedro de Atacama region, Northern Chile, at a latitude close to the tropic of Capricorn. This latitude is just enough to let the 7 main stars of the constellation to be visible

Spiral galaxy NGC 253 in the Sculptor - Galaxy NGC 253 in Sculptor - NGC 253 is the brightest galaxy of the Sculptor's group, group of galaxies closest to the Local Group. It is about 10 million light years away. Image made with an amateur instrument, a Takahashi FS-128 bezel. NGC 253 is a spectacular starburst spiral galaxy that is choked with dust. Located about 10 million light years away in the constellation of Sculptor, it is the nearest starburst galaxy to our own Milky Way galaxy. It is called a “” starburst””” galaxy because of the extremely high rate of star formation taking place in its core. Although located at a fairly low declination for northern hemisphere observers, NGC 253 is easily visible in binoculars, and is an amazing sight in a large telescope

Stars - The view to the north from Siding Spring - Photographic pose of several hours made in Australia; the northern Celestial pole is here 30 degrees below the horizon. As the Earth rotates beneath them the stars appear to drift across the sky from east to west. From a dark site, a camera with its shutter left open will record the apparent movement of the stars. This is the view from Siding Spring Mountain, the site of the telescopes of Anglo - Australian Observatory. It is located about 30 degrees south of the equator, so the north celestial pole is 30 degrees below the northern horizon. Behind the camera the south celestial pole is about 30 degrees above the horizon

Circumpolar - South Hemisphere - South celestial pole star trails - Photographic pose of several hours around the south celeste pole. As the earth spins beneath the stars they appear to move across the sky from east to west. However, if one looks in the direction of the celestial poles, the stars appear to circle a single point on the sky. This is the position of the earth's axis of rotation projected into space. This picture was made from Siding Spring Observatory in Australia, so the pivotal point is 30 degrees above the northern horizon, which is the geographical latitude of Siding Spring. In the northern sky there is a bright star very close to the celestial pole. By contrast the region of the south celestial pole is barren

Spiral galaxy NGC 6744 in the constellation Peacock - Spiral galaxy NGC 6744 in Pavo - The galaxy NGC 6744 is about 25 million years away - light from Earth. This galaxy interacts with a dwarf galaxy. Image obtained with a telescope of 35 cm, 12 hours of poses. NGC 6744 is a majestic spiral galaxy in the southern constellation of Pavo. It has great similarities to the Milky Way galaxy in both form and structure. It lies at a distance of approximately 25 million Light Years. At its northern tip NGC 6744 is interacting with a dwarf companion galaxy much in the same way the Milky Way interacts with the Large Magellanic Cloud. The northernmost spiral arm is most likely being stretched and its stars and gas stripped due to tidal pull from the dwarf companion. Likewise the stars of the companion will likely be engulfed and the companion will ultimately merge with NGC 6744 at a far off future time. Image taken with 14.5”” RCOS telescope, 12 Hours of exposure

Constellation of the Southern Cross - Constellation Crux. The Southern Cross - The Southern Cross with Beta and Alpha Centaurus left. Image obtained from New Zealand. 'Crux', being Latin for 'cross', commonly known as the' Southern Cross' (in contrast to the Cygnus (constellation) Northern Cross), is the smallest of the 88 modern constellations, but nevertheless one of the most distinctive. It is surrounded on three sides by the constellation Centaurus while to the south lies the 'Fly' (Musca). Crux was originally thought of by ancient Greeks as part of Centaurus, but was defined as a separate asterism in the 16th Century after Amerigo Vespucci's expedition to South America in 1501. Vespucci mapped the two stars, Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri as well as the stars of the Crux. Although these stars were known to the ancient Greeks, gradual precession had lowered them below the European skyline so that they were forgotten
