The Alien's arm
While the still blue waters of Crater lake astonish visitors in the morning, its the turn of its dark sky with millions of stars that leaves one awestruck during nights. Seen in this picture is the Sagittarius arm of Milky way, our home galaxy on a new moon. I drove from SF Bay area on a saturday afternoon and reached just in time to watch the sagittarius constellation rise above crater lake. Icing in the cake is the green light in horizon due to a phenomenon called air glow.
