Magic in the Sky

A lucky shot of the summer Milky Way as seen in the South Hemisphere.

Near the horizon there’s a bright meteor and a small hint of lightning.

The bright red nebula at the top is the Eta Carina Nebula, below you will find the smalled lambda Centauri nebula (running chicken) and the dark Coalsack nebula just next to the southern cross (Crux). Then Alpha and Beta Centauri with the great globular cluster Omega Centauri to the left (that’s not a star!).

The photo includes many open and globular clusters like the beautiful southern pleiades.
