“Galactic Kiwi”

This twilight shot of the Milky Way captures the galaxy in the background of New Zealand’s Mount Taranaki. Capped in snow, the mountain’s peak offers a central vanishing point; a place where the earthly greens and browns converge on the galaxy’s interstellar oranges, pinks, and further up, deep blues. A meteor’s streak across the sky is visible in the top left corner of the photo.
