Southern Sky from 38,000 Feet

This night sky view, captured from an airliner at 38,000 feet, shows celestial sights of the southern sky above Earth. The broad band of the southern Milky Way begins at the top left with the dark Coalsack Nebula and the Southern Cross. The image was created by stacking a series of short exposures. It captures the diffuse starlight of our galaxy's plane.
