      A snowy landscape is pictured with a big hill in the center. Above the   
        hill is a starfield with the stars and nebulae of the constellation   
      Orion appearing, with the red glow of the nebulas in great contrast to   
         the dark sky and bright snow. Please see the explanation for more   
                               detailed information.

      Explanation: What does Orion rising look like to a camera? During this   
      time of the year, the famous constellation is visible to the southeast   
      just after sunset. From most Earthly locations, Orion's familiar star   
      pattern, highlighted by the three-stars-in-a-row belt stars, rises   
      sideways. An entire section of the night sky that includes Orion was   
      photographed rising above +Ünie+'ka, a mountain on the border between   
      Poland and the Czech Republic. The long duration exposure sequence   
      brings up many faint features including the Orion and Flame Nebulas,   
      both encompassed by the curving Barnard's Loop. The featured wide-angle   
      camera composite also captured night sky icons including the blue   
      Pleiades star cluster at the image top and the red Rosette Nebula to   
      the left of Orion. Famous stars in the frame include Sirius,   
      Betelgeuse, Rigel and Aldebaran. Orion will appear successively higher   
      in the sky at sunset during the coming months.
