                        Astronomy Picture of the Day

    Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our
      fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation
                    written by a professional astronomer.

                                 2025 July 1
          A fisheye image of the sky is shown on the left with the
   landscape-foreground surrounding it. The plane of our Milky Way Galaxy
   runs down the center. At first glance the sky looks like oddly like an
        eye of a dragon. Please see the explanation for more detailed
                                information.

   Explanation: What do you see when you look into this sky? In the
   center, in the dark, do you see a night sky filled with stars? Do you
   see a sunset to the left? Clouds all around? Do you see the central
   band of our Milky Way Galaxy running down the middle? Do you see the
   ruins of an abandoned outpost on a hill? (The outpost is on Askold
   Island, Russia.) Do you see a photographer with a headlamp
   contemplating surreal surroundings? (The featured image is a panorama
   of 38 images taken last month and compiled into a Little Planet
   projection.) Do you see a rugged path lined with steps? Or do you see
   the eye of a dragon?
