Fine Art Print : Starry sky over Vancouver
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Starry sky over Vancouver
Starry sky. The image is centred on the constellations of Gemini (right) and Cancer (left). The brightest object at upper centre is Mars which is almost aligned with Pollux and Castor, the two main stars in Gemini. They are found to the right of Mars and Pollux is the closest to the planet. The constellation of Cancer is not easily recognisable. The main feature in it is the presence of the open star cluster known as the Beehive or Praesepe (M44). The cluster is visible at centre left as a small fuzzy patch. It is formed by about 300 stars and lies at a distance of some 520 light years from the Earth. The image was taken from Vancouver, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a starry sky over Vancouver. The image is perfectly centered on the constellations of Gemini and Cancer, with Mars shining brightly at the upper center. Aligned almost flawlessly with Pollux and Castor, Mars creates a stunning celestial alignment in this snapshot. While Gemini steals much of the spotlight in this picture, the constellation of Cancer remains somewhat elusive to identify. However, its main feature, an open star cluster known as the Beehive or Praesepe (M44), can be spotted at center left as a small fuzzy patch. Comprised of approximately 300 stars, this cluster lies an astonishing distance of 520 light years away from Earth. Taken from Vancouver, Canada, this photograph not only captures the magnificence of our universe but also highlights our city's connection to it. With its vast field stretching across space and time, this stellar display evokes feelings of wonder and awe within us all. Immerse yourself in this breathtaking scene that combines artistry and science seamlessly.
