The Milky Way from Canis Major to Vela
The Milky Way from the constellations of Canis Major (top centre) through Puppis (centre), Vela (bottom centre) and Carina (bottom right). The field is dominated by Sirius (the Dog Star, top centre) in Canis Major, which is the brightest star in the sky with a visual magnitude of -1.5. The faint and pink areas seen scattered in the frame are emission nebulae; they are interstellar clouds, mainly formed by hydrogen, lit up and ionised by the ultraviolet radiation of young, hot stars embedded in them

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of our galaxy, the Milky Way, stretching across the night sky from Canis Major to Vela. The constellations of Canis Major (top centre), Puppis (centre), Vela (bottom centre), and Carina (bottom right) create a celestial tapestry that leaves us in wonder. At the heart of this cosmic masterpiece shines Sirius, known as the Dog Star and residing in Canis Major. With its remarkable brightness, Sirius claims its place as the brightest star in our entire sky, boasting a visual magnitude of -1.5. As we explore this image further, we are captivated by delicate pink hues scattered throughout. These ethereal patches are emission nebulae – interstellar clouds composed primarily of hydrogen. Illuminated and ionized by young, scorching stars nestled within them, these nebulae emit ultraviolet radiation that paints their surroundings with stunning shades. This extraordinary photograph from Science Photo Library invites us to contemplate our place within the vastness of space and marvel at the intricate dance between stars and interstellar matter. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness, there exists an abundance of beauty waiting to be discovered in every corner of our galactic home.
