Milky Way Smiles!

The arc of the milky way stands in the sky from north to south. You need a 180-degree field of view to see the whole arc. In this panorama shot, you can see some light pollutions caused by city lights. You can also see some green lights which are so faint that we call them "airglow". These lights are caused by an Oxygen burn reaction in upper levels of the atmosphere that can be seen by sensitive lenses and cameras.
