Mesmerizing Milky Way "Ring" Photo
The Astronomy Photo of the Day for March 13th (↗), this image by astrophotographer Maroun Habib of moophz.com took some extensive traveling and photo editing capabilities. Mr. Habib first traveled to Kammouha, Lebanon to capture the Northern Hemisphere perspective of our Milky Way Galaxy — represented in the top half of this image. About half a year later, he flew down to the arid and sparsely-populated Atacama Desert in Chile to capture the bottom-half imagery. Some hours (or minutes?) of photographic appending and manipulating later, and voila! The world is gifted with a revolutionary, "well-rounded" (no pun intended) photo.
