#6 (ii). Milky Way & Meteor over Meteora, Greece

            6 (ii).
The photograph Without any distracting labels or arrows.

The Milky Way lies vertical, much like a celestial ladder, with its core barely visible above horizon. Our galaxy’s core bids farewell to all of us in the north hemisphere, as it will remain invisible throughout the winter months ahead. There are a hundred billion (100,000,000,000 or 10¹¹) stars in it.

A meteor (aka shooting star) was luckily captured whilst moving fast and burning out in the atmosphere. 

In the foreground, the deserted Hypapantē (Candlemas) abbey is seen. It is nested within the rock formation at a height of 230 ft (70 m) above ground. The monastery dates back to 1367 and was destroyed by fire on 1809 on a local Ottoman bully’s instructions (based in Ioannina). It was restored in 2000.

Meteora is the name of the group comprising many impressive and lofty rock formations: The height of the sandstone megaliths ranges between 1,000-2,067 ft (300-630 m). The rock masses which were formed 60 million years ago are geologically unique and listed in UNESCO world heritage sites.
