APOD 3.6

I love Switzerland! I also love this picture because it's beautiful. I also like this picture because so much of the night sky is visible, and the Ms and constellations are labeled, which really helps with people like me who get incredibly disoriented when looking at the night sky. I also love how well captured the Milky Way is in this. Still, my favorite part of this is that so many of the different night sky objects are captured, because being able to see them in perspective, spanned across the night sky is very helpful. Some of the captured constellations and deep sky objects are M33 in Triangulum, M44 the Beehive, the Rosette Nebula, the Orion Nebula, and even the Pacman Nebula.
