The galactic core area of the Milky Way Galaxy in Sagittarius and Scorpius rising in the east at left, with the spectacular southern reaches of the Milky Way from Centaurus to Carina above high in the south. The Dark Emu made of dark dust lanes in the Milky Way is fully visible here. Scorpius is rising on its side at left, while the Southern Cross is high in the south at upper right.

The Milky Way and its core region in Sagittarius and Scorpius is here low over the Badlands landscape of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. This was the night of May 31/June 1, 2024, when from this latitude of 50° 45' N the sky is not fully dark even in the middle of the night, here about 2:30 a.m. MDT. So the sky retains a blue tint.

The galactic core area of the Milky Way over Maskinonge Pond in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta. Jupiter is the bright object at left, with Saturn dimmer to the left (east) of Jupiter. In the summer of 2020 the two planets were close together in the summer sky. Jupiter provides the glitter path on the water. Antares and Scorpius are to the right. Sagittarius is at centre. This was July 13-14, 2020.
