ISS and the Summer Milky Way 

I first chose this image because it is absolutely gorgeous. But past its initial beauty, the photo contains many familiar objects in the sky. The long streak across the sky is the track of the International Space Station over a 5-minute-long exposure. There are a few atmospheric clouds in the sky, but past that are actually starry clouds and nebulae, which appear more blue and bright. The Milky Way is clearly visible from this view in Buenos Aires, Argentina which is currently seeing the summer Milky Way sky.
