Description
A very large monochrome black and white star gazing panorama view of the Colorado rocky mountains continental divide starting with Longs Peak to the northwest with star and plane trails. If you look in the upper right there is a small cloud that looks like a fading heart. You can see the heavens open up it is so clear in the high elevation. Here are some cool star facts. Stars range in color depending on how hot they are, in order from lowest to highest temperature they are can be brown, red, orange, yellow, white, or blue in color.Red supergiants, such as Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion make our Sun look small, 20x its mass, and 1,000x larger. Red hypergiants such as the largest known star VY Canis Majoris are even bigger, over 1,800x the size of the Sun. There are approximately 200-400 billion stars in our Milky Way Galaxy alone. The closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri. It is located about 4.2 light-years away from the Earth. The light-year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the total distance that a beam of light, moving in a straight line, travels in one year. To obtain an idea of the size of a light-year, take the circumference of the earth (24,900 miles), lay it out in a straight line, multiply the length of the line by 7.5 (the corresponding distance is one light-second), then place 31.6 million similar lines end to end. The resulting distance is almost 6 trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles! Photo: � James "Bo" Insogna
