      Explanation: A glow from the summit of Mount Etna, famous active   
      stratovolcano of planet Earth, stands out along the horizon in this   
      mountain and night skyscape. Bands of diffuse light from congeries of   
      innumerable stars along the Milky Way galaxy stretch across the sky   
      above. In silhouette, the Milky Way's massive dust clouds are clumped   
      along the galactic plane. But also familiar to northern skygazers are   
      bright stars Deneb, Vega, and Altair, the Summer Triangle straddling   
      dark nebulae and luminous star clouds poised over the volcanic peak.   
      The deep combined exposures also reveal the light of active star   
      forming regions along the Milky Way, echoing Etna's ruddy hue in the   
      northern hemisphere summer's night.
