#2 a (ii). Tender Is The Night In Meteora, Greece

2 a (ii)
The photograph without any distracting labels or arrows.

In Meteora, Greece, night fell but darkness did not, in spite of the moonless sky: the gigantic rock formations are illuminated by projectors and there are the streetlights, too, of the picturesque village Kastraki. Meteora rocks are geologically unique and included in UNESCO World Heritage list. Despite the ambient artificial light shed all around, the starry splendour of the night is still there:

Dazzling Jupiter is seen as the shot’s brightest celestial object on the right, close to a tree’s silhouette. Dimmer Saturn is visible just to the left of Jupiter and lower. The two gas giants are in planetary conjunction (4° 0’ 6”). The three highest stars of the Capricornus constellation are visible just to the left of Saturn. To the left of Capricornus, part of Pegasus is seen and Cygnus higher above.

It was a cool night in late May when the nightscape was shot. The shot’s title is inspired by a line of John Keats’s poetry (Ode to a nightingale). Please see comment for data regarding date, time, camera settings and astronomical details.
