Explanation: It started with a pine tree. The idea was to photograph a statuesque pine in front of the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. And the plan, carried out two months ago, was successful — they both appear prominently. But the resulting 3-frame panorama captured much more. Colorful stars, for example, dot the distant background, with bright Altair visible on the upper left. The planet Saturn, a bit closer, was captured just over the horizon on the far left. Just beyond the Earth’s atmosphere, seen in the upper right, an Earth-orbiting satellite was caught leaving a streak during the 25-second exposure. The Earth’s atmosphere itself was surprisingly visible — as green airglow across the image top. Finally, just by chance, there was a firefly. Do you see it? Near the image bottom, the firefly blinked in yellow several times as it fluttered before the rolling hills above Milogradovka River in Primorsky Krai, Russia.

说明: 影像的发想是松树。构思是要拍摄一颗高大挺拔的松树 ，矗立在银河系中央盘面的前方。这项计画在2个月前成功执行，在所拍下的影像里二者都极为出采。不过，这幅由3张照片拼接而成的全景影像，所捕捉到的远多于原先的构思。例如：影像背景里有色彩缤纷的恒星，而且左上角有亮星牛郎。距离较密近的土星，则悬在左缘地平线的上空附近。此外，于这幅25秒长曝光影像的右上角，有在地球大气外头绕行地球的低地球轨道卫星所留下的迹线。而且出人意表的，地球大气也以泛绿气辉之姿出现在上半影像里。最后，你看见恰巧现踪的萤火虫吗？在下半的影像里，有只萤火虫匆匆飞过俄罗斯．普列莫尔斯基区．米洛格拉多夫卡河畔起伏山丘的前方，留下了泛黄的闪烁身影。
