APOD 4.3

Darkened City 
This photograph shows an unlikely, unlit cityscape with the bright night sky behind it. To create the apocalyptic view, the photographer combined a daytime foreground with a long-exposure night time shot of the sky, showing the milky way and many familiar constellations like Scorpius and Aquila, with bright stas Antares and Altair. In order to achieve a bright, clear view of the night sky, the photographer took the background shot at a dark area at the same latitude as the foreground city.
