      Explanation: Is the sky angry with Mount Shasta? According to some   
      ancient legends, the spirits of above and below worlds fight there,   
      sometimes quite actively during eruptions of this enormous volcano in   
      California, USA. Such drama can well be imagined in this deep sky image   
      taken in late June. Evident above the snow-covered peak is the central   
      band of our Milky Way Galaxy, on the left, and a picturesque sky toward   
      the modern constellations of Scorpius and Ophiuchus, above and to the   
      right. The bright orange star Antares and the colorful rho Ophiuchi   
      cloud complex are visible just to the right of Mount Shasta, while the   
      red emission nebula surrounding the star zeta Ophiuchi appears on the   
      top right. The static earth image in the featured composite was taken   
      during the blue hour, while a two-panel panorama tracking the   
      background sky was taken later that night with the same camera and from   
      the same location. Within a few million years, Antares, some stars in   
      the rho Ophiuchi system, and zeta Ophiuchi will all likely explode as   
      supernovas.
