Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Lines of TIme." This 2+ hour composite image was captured using a camera mounted on a tripod near the Orel Farm outside Vladivostok, Russia (home to the Russian Pacific Fleet). The many short exposures bring out individual star colors: bluish trails are from stars hotter than Earth's Sun, while yellowish trails are from cooler stars.The northern celestial pole is to the upper right, and southern celestial pole is to the lower left. Timelines from stars make an interesting contrast to the timelines in the bark of the tree.

"Explanation: In time stars trace lines through the night sky on a rotating planet. Taken over two hours or more, these digitally added consecutive exposures were made with a camera and wide angle lens fixed to a tripod near Orel farm, Primorsky Krai, Russia, planet Earth. The stars trail in concentric arcs around the planet's south celestial pole below the scene's horizon, and north celestial pole off the frame at the upper right. Combined, the many short exposures also bring out the pretty star colours. Bluish trails are from stars hotter than Earth's Sun, while yellowish trails are from cooler stars. A long time ago this tree blossomed, but now reveals the passage of time in the wrinkled and weathered lines of its remains."
