PIX4581099: Orion's belt rising over the lights of Coonabarabran - Photographic pose of several hours on the constellation Orion. From Siding Spring Mountain, Australia, there is a clear view to the eastern horizon, directly over the small town of Coonabarabran about 26 km from the telescopes. Here we see the three distinctive trails of Orion's belt rising above the town. The rightmost star of the line of three is Minkata, and it is within a degree of the celestial equator. The point on the horizon where it rises is very close to due east and similarly its setting point is almost exactly due west. Minkata has long been an important navigation star. and its trail is a straight line, while either side of Orion's belt, towards the celestial poles, the star trails become increasingly curved. / Bridgeman Images
PIX4581104: Stars - The view to the north from Siding Spring - Photographic pose of several hours made in Australia; the northern Celestial pole is here 30 degrees below the horizon. As the Earth rotates beneath them the stars appear to drift across the sky from east to west. From a dark site, a camera with its shutter left open will record the apparent movement of the stars. This is the view from Siding Spring Mountain, the site of the telescopes of Anglo - Australian Observatory. It is located about 30 degrees south of the equator, so the north celestial pole is 30 degrees below the northern horizon. Behind the camera the south celestial pole is about 30 degrees above the horizon / Bridgeman Images
PIX4581110: Circumpolar - South Hemisphere - South celestial pole star trails - Photographic pose of several hours around the south celeste pole. As the earth spins beneath the stars they appear to move across the sky from east to west. However, if one looks in the direction of the celestial poles, the stars appear to circle a single point on the sky. This is the position of the earth's axis of rotation projected into space. This picture was made from Siding Spring Observatory in Australia, so the pivotal point is 30 degrees above the northern horizon, which is the geographical latitude of Siding Spring. In the northern sky there is a bright star very close to the celestial pole. By contrast the region of the south celestial pole is barren / Bridgeman Images

PIX4581524: Zodiacal lights in the morning and evening - Zodiacal lights - morning and evening - The visible glow in the sky is called the zodiacal light. It comes from the reflection of the light of the Sun on the countless interplanetary dust; it draws the plane of the Solar System. At the top, on the morning of 1 November 2006, the light is tilted to the right (south); below, on 9 March 2007 at sunset, this light is tilted to the left (south). The faint cone of light extending from the horizon along the ecliptic is known as zodiacal light. It comes from the reflexion of the sun's light off tiny interplanetary dust particles in the plane of the solar system. Top, November 1st 2006 in the morning, zodiacal light is leaning right (south); bottom, March 9 2007, sunset, zodiacal light towards left (south) / Bridgeman Images
PIX4581560: The zodiacal light - The zodiacal light - The zodiacal light during astronomical dusk rises above the western horizon at the time of the spring equinox. It extends to the Pleiades.

PIX4581422: Star Line - The constellation of Orion - Star trails - The constellation of Orion - Because of the Earth's rotation, leaving the camera open, the stars advance towards the background of the sky. During the installation, gradually changing the focal length of the lens, the stars spread out and reveal their true color. Here is the constellation of Orion photographed in this way during a 30-minute installation in ISO 400. Here one sees the stars of the constellation of Orion recorded in an exposure of about 30 minutes, during which time the lens focus was moved from infinity to about 1 meter in a series of 10 steps about three minutes apart. The effect is to reveal the star colours and that of the vivid red Orion nebula / Bridgeman Images
