Summary

[edit]
Description
Русский: Млечный путь над Эльбрусом
English: The Milky Way over Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in the Caucasus. The Serpens–Aquila Rift stands in the center of the view: a gruop of dark interstellar clouds in the constellations Aquila, Serpens Cauda, and eastern Ophiuchus. The constellations Sagitta, Delphinus, and Scutum are also included in the star field, as well as portions Sagittarius and Capricornus constellations. The bright star in the center is Altair, while the planet Jupiter shines on the lower left.
Italiano: La Via Lattea sovrasta il Monte Elbrus, la vetta più alta della catena del Caucaso. Al centro dell'immagine è riconoscibile principalmente la Fenditura dell'Aquila, un complesso di nebulose che oscurano la brillantezza nella direzione della costellazione dell'Aquila. La stella più brillante al centro nell'immagine è Altair (α Aquilae). Sono visibili inoltre la Freccia, il Delfino, lo Scudo (in prossimità di Altair), la Coda del Serpente (al di sotto dell'Aquila) e, parzialmente, Ercole, Ofiuco, il Sagittario e il Capricorno. L'astro lumoniso in basso a sinistra è Giove, visibile, nell'agosto del 2021 quando la fotografia è stata scattata, proprio nel Capricorno.
