       A skyscape is shown over a rocky landscape. In the starry sky are the   
      central band of our Milky Way Galaxy on the left, a meteor trail on the   
           right, the dim band of zodiacal light in the center, and the   
        photographer holding a light just below the center. The path of the   
        light is shown as a bright streak in the bottom part of the frame.   
             Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

      Explanation: This surprising sky has almost everything. First, slanting   
      down from the upper left and far in the distance is the central band of   
      our Milky Way Galaxy. More modestly, slanting down from the upper right   
      and high in Earth's atmosphere is a bright meteor. The dim band of   
      light across the central diagonal is zodiacal light: sunlight reflected   
      from dust in the inner Solar System. The green glow on the far right is   
      aurora high in Earth's atmosphere. The bright zigzagging bright line   
      near the bottom is just a light that was held by the scene-planning   
      astrophotographer. This "almost everything" sky was captured over rocks   
      on Castle Hill, New Zealand late last month. The featured finished   
      frame is a combination of 10 exposures all taken with the same camera   
      and from the same location. But what about the astrophotographer   
      himself? He's pictured too -- can you find him?
