Milky Way Road Trip
Astronomer Tunç Tezel took this photo on a road trip up Uludag mountain in Turkey. Jupiter shines brightly near the center, outshining city lights and the stars of Sagittarius. Above the mountain peaks, a cloud bank appears to lead to the Milky Way, which plunges into the distant horizon.
