                           Astronomy Picture of the Day   
      
       Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our   
         fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation   
                       written by a professional astronomer.

             A fisheye image of the sky is shown on the left with the   
      landscape-foreground surrounding it. The plane of our Milky Way Galaxy   
      runs down the center. At first glance the sky looks like oddly like an   
           eye of a dragon. Please see the explanation for more detailed   
                                   information.

      Explanation: What do you see when you look into this sky? In the   
      center, in the dark, do you see a night sky filled with stars? Do you   
      see a sunset to the left? Clouds all around? Do you see the central   
      band of our Milky Way Galaxy running down the middle? Do you see the   
      ruins of an abandoned outpost on a hill? (The outpost is on Askold   
      Island, Russia.) Do you see a photographer with a headlamp   
      contemplating surreal surroundings? (The featured image is a panorama   
      of 38 images taken last month and compiled into a Little Planet   
      projection.) Do you see a rugged path lined with steps? Or do you see   
      the eye of a dragon?
