APOD: 2021 February 6 - A Northern Winter Night

Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Photo Mosaic of the Day (APMOD) for Saturday, February 6, 2021 entitled "A Northern Winter Night."

Interesting photo mosaic of a circular view bounded by evergreen trees of a night sky focused on bright star overhead is Capella (constellation: Auriga), and to the right near the top of the image is an 'upside-down Orion.'
I had to chuckle since Orion is not upside down - our view of it is different :-) This is akin to sunrise and sunset in our vernacular. The sun, earth and everything else is where God designed it to be :-)

I selected a traditional Scottish song 'The Trees They Do Grow High' performed by Pentacle and another Loey Nelson performing 'Night Sky'

APOD Background
Explanation: Snow blankets the ground in this serene forest and sky view. Assembled in a 360 degree panoramic projection, the mosaicked frames were captured at January's end along a quiet country road near Siemiony, northeastern Poland, planet Earth. The night was cold and between trees reaching toward the sky shine the stars and nebulae of the northern winter Milky Way. Near zenith is bright star Capella, a mere 43 light-years above the tree tops. Alpha star of the constellation Auriga the Charioteer and part of the winter hexagon asterism, Capella is a well-studied double star system. Follow the Milky Way above and right of Capella and you might spot the familiar stars of Orion in the northern winter night."
