Bright winter sky
The arc of Milky Way with bright winter gems is photographed in this panoramic photo from Yunnan Astronomical Observatory in southwestern China. Jupiter is the brightest object in the middle top. Canopus, the second brightest star in the night sky, is also visible in the lower left. The dome, housing a 2.4 meter diameter robotic telescope, reflects the light of rising moon.

Lights or Stars? Today most city skies have become virtually empty of stars, but there is still places beyond your imagination. Here is the view of Yaqing Monastery, Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan province of China. Reaching 4000m above sea level, it provides superb clear skies. The central bugle of our Milky way galaxy still shines brightly above a sea of lights.
The temple is associated with the Tibetan Buddhism. With more than 30,000 Sangha members now, it is the largest concentration of nuns and monks in the world.
