This picture is so astounding. It looks like a volcanoe erupting in the night sky. Even though that is the milky way galaxy, just the picture of a volcanoe is just so cool! This was taken in Hawaii at Mauna Kea. This picture also looks so cool because the ground is rocky then their is a cloudy landscape right under it. Also because they are above most of the layers of the atmosphere, it is easier to view space. The bright lights coming up frmo the clouds are the lights of the famous city Kiauea and Mauna Loa.
