The Galaxy Tree

COSMIC MESSAGE

Branches of an oak tree appear to reach for the Milky Way in this photo from Salamanca, Spain. The photographer used a flashlight to illuminate the tree, making it stand out against the night sky. Our galaxy's dust lanes look like natural extensions of the tree's limbs. This image captures a unique perspective of our home galaxy.
