“Star Trails and the Captain's Ghost” is copyrighted by Chris Kotsiopoulos. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteStar trails arc over an old shipwreck on a beach in southern Greece. The ephemeral shape on the beach is the photographer, not a ghost. This image is composed of 90 consecutive exposures, capturing the stars' motion as the Earth rotates. The long exposures create the effect of star trails across the night sky.
