Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "The Galaxy Tree." A grove of oak trees, the night sky, and a flashlight combine to create this scene outside of Salamanca, Spain. This single exposure of 30 seconds was then reprocessed to emphasize the Milky Way. The flashlight behind the closest tree creates a silhouette similar to other trees against the horizon. Mouse over the image and you can see the orientation of the different early morning springtime constellations (e.g. Sagittarius, Scorpius, Ophiuchus, etc). The Galaxy Tree originally appeared here on May 25, 2015.

Glory to God in the highest. Decades ago U2 released Joshua Tree as an album.
I hope and pray that the LORD has blessed you and those you love with a wonderful Sunday.
APOD Background
"Explanation: First came the trees. In the town of Salamanca, Spain, the photographer noticed how distinctive a grove of oak trees looked after being pruned. Next came the galaxy. The photographer stayed up until 2 am, waiting until the Milky Way Galaxy rose above the level of a majestic looking oak. From this carefully chosen perspective, dust lanes in the galaxy appear to be natural continuations to branches of the tree. Last came the light. A flashlight was used on the far side of the tree to project a silhouette. By coincidence, other trees also appeared as similar silhouettes across the relatively bright horizon. The featured image was captured as a single 30-second frame in 2015 and processed to digitally enhance the Milky Way."
