      Explanation: Winter and summer appear to come on a single night to this   
      stunning little planet. It's planet Earth of course. The digitally   
      mapped, nadir centered panorama covers 360x180 degrees and is composed   
      of frames recorded during January and July from the Col du Galibier in   
      the French Alps. Stars and nebulae of the northern winter (bottom) and   
      summer Milky Way form the complete arcs traversing the rugged, curved   
      horizon. Cars driving along on the road during a summer night   
      illuminate the 2,642 meter high mountain pass, but snow makes access   
      difficult during winter months except by serious ski touring. Cycling   
      fans will recognize the Col du Galibier as one of the most famous   
      climbs in planet Earth's Tour de France.
