Southern Milky Way and Venus Corona with Zodiacal Light Shining Bright from Tongariro National Park in New Zealand
By Year: 2025 | Milky Way & Infrared | Southern Hemisphere
The image shows the starry night sky from the Southern Hemisphere captured from Tongariro Suites, a wonderful luxury accommodation located in National Park of Tongariro in New Zealand. Taken in May 2025 the weather was a bit unstable but I was fortunate to be able to capture the entire mosaic of the sky before it was totally covered by a layer clouds. With the hearth of Milky Way touching the Zenith and spread by many reddish nebulae from h-alpha emission, lower on the left side and in between the clouds, large and small Magellan clouds were shinning bright. In the opposite direction, right edge of this large panorama, planet Venus was revealing a bluish corona from a thin layer of clouds that refracting its light. Following the bright light upwards and there is the faint light from the Zodiacal plane. Scorpius constellation and the colorful nebulosity of Rho Ophiuchi dominates the central scene below the arc of Milky Way galaxy.
PT: A imagem revela o céu estrelado do Hemisfério Sul, captado a partir das Tongariro Suites, um incrível alojamento de luxo localizado no Parque Nacional de Tongariro, na Nova Zelândia. A foto foi tirada em maio de 2025, quando o tempo estava um pouco instável, mas tive a sorte de conseguir captar todo o mosaico do céu antes de ficar totalmente coberto por uma camada de nuvens. Com o núcleo da Via Láctea a tocar no zénite e repleto de nebulosas avermelhadas provenientes da emissão de H-alfa, mais abaixo, à esquerda e por entre as nuvens passageiras, a Grande e Pequena Nuvém de Magalhães, brilham intensamente, companheiras satélite da nossa Via Láctea. No sentido oposto, no extremo direito deste amplo panorama, o planeta Vénus revelava uma coroa azulada através de uma fina camada de nuvens que refractava a sua luz. Seguindo o brilho venusiano para cima, avista-se a ténue luz do plano zodiacal. A constelação de Escorpião e a colorida nebulosidade de Rho Ophiuchi dominam a cena central por baixo do arco da Via Láctea.
