APOD 1.5

September 20 2014
Shoreline of the Universe

This picture appealed to me because it is beautiful, but it looks like something that can be seen from Earth. This feature appeals to me becuase it's always interesting to be able to see amazing things like this with the naked eye. This picture is of the Milky Way Galaxy. It looks like a bunch of waves, so it can be assumed there are a lot of stars and dust within the galaxy. The picture is taken in North Carolina, so it is able to be seen from Earth. Sagittarius and Scorpius can be seen towards the center of the picture. Mars, Saturn, and Alpha Librae also form a bright triangle within the picture.
