Photographic Print : Great Rift in the Milky Way
Photo Prints From Science Photo Library
Great Rift in the Milky Way
Great Rift in the Milky Way. The Great Rift is the name given to the prominent dark lane running through the bright Milky Way, from upper left to lower right. It is due to huge clouds of dust blocking the light from the more distant Milky Way. The Milky Way is our own galaxy seen from within, which gives it the appearance of a band of light crossing the sky. The rift is in the region of the constellations Aquila and Cygnus, which are best seen in the summer in the northern hemisphere

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Great Rift in the Milky Way. Stretching from upper left to lower right, this prominent dark lane cuts through the bright expanse of our galaxy, creating a mesmerizing contrast that leaves us breathless. The Great Rift owes its existence to colossal clouds of dust that obstruct the light emanating from distant regions of the Milky Way. As we gaze upon this celestial masterpiece, we are reminded that we are witnessing our own galaxy from within. The Milky Way appears as a radiant band of light traversing the night sky, captivating us with its ethereal charm. In this particular image, the rift is situated in Aquila and Cygnus, constellations best observed during summer in the northern hemisphere. The photograph showcases a vast star field adorned with countless twinkling stars amidst wisps of interstellar dust clouds.
