Part of a series of images that use astronomical data to construct landscapes with starry skies. Every dot in the sky is a real star!
This one shows Libra, Virgo, Leo and Cancer stretching diagonally across the sky (as they can be seen from latitude 50°N), with Hydra, Crater and Corvus below, and part of Boötes above.
The image includes stars of magnitude 6 or brighter, and therefore all of these stars are potentially visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The
Etsy Page
includes some closeups.
