Yeah... Light pollution is getting worse everywhere. 😔 I hope someday you can travel to a dark-sky place.... I like to dream about crossing the Pacific Ocean by sailboat. Imagine all those night watches over a thousand miles from any land.

How's the hike with snow on the ground?

i go there all the time!!!! the quarry at the end is always so fun to climb!

I live too close to Hamburg City - too much light pollution

What a pic

I'm not sure exactly why (maybe British fascination with Egypt at the time these were named) but a lot of the landmarks in this little corner of Banff share the theme: there's Pharaoh Peak (which is where this photo was taken from), Pharaoh Lake, Egypt Lake, Sphinx Peak, Scarab Lake, and Mummy Lake.

You can see the trail on the left side of the crater. It looked like a train track or something just plopped on the surface.

Had to photoshop a lot of man made stuff out so I could post it here on earth porn.

This was taken near Halcottsville, in the northwest Catskills. Not far from Roxbury and Margaretville.

Plan on doing that shortly. Is it that hard? I live in a tropical country, never driven in snow.

It was blazing orange that night, very noticeable to the naked eye. A group of friends and I sat around gazing skyward, in awe at the celestial light show. Several good meteors flashed that night, too — all of which managed to evade my camera....

Certain stars are very distinctive. (All of this star-gazing works much better if you go out to a dark-sky area, and sit in the dark — no phone, no flashlight, nothing — and let your eyes adjust for at least a half hour.)
Betelgeuse in this photo is definitely red-orange to the naked eye. Just like seeing Mars and its reddish hue. Antares near the Milky Way core (not visible in winter) is bright red. The Orion Nebula is magenta that can be seen by the naked eye. Sirius in this photo is blue-white, but if you look around online you might find compilations of how different it can look depending on "seeing" conditions — how light is distorted and refracted in the atmosphere. Sirius, because it is the brightest star in the night sky, gets noticeably color-shifted by this effect sometimes.

Stunning.

Yeah the GoPro footage I got from the ride is incredible. I love going back and watching it every now and then.

Yes, you definitely can see star colors if you have a nice dark-sky area. In this pic, Betelgeuse is noticeably orange-red. And Sirius is a bright blue-white. The naked eye can also notice the magenta color of the Great Orion Nebula. Of course, long exposure photos (and vibrance/saturation adjustments) make it all more noticeable, but it's very cool to even get a glimpse of it in real life, out in the dark looking up at the sky.

Thanks so much! It was a phenomenal sunset 👌😍

It absolutely has that look to it doesn’t it! Just one of those magical sunsets 👌

I was sorta of sleepy-scrolling and this picture made me go 'wow holy jeez'

Gorgeous. For a second I was thinking of looking an oil painting masterpiece.

i can always recognize Betelgeuze, odd

I have never seen the constellation of Orion in such a way that you can recognise Betelgeuze by its colour.
