22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
A Rainbow of Stars
Star trails circle the South Star, Sigma Octantis. The variation in color of each streak of starlight is due to the difference in temperature and ages of the stars themselves. The night sky in this photo is framed by tree branches.
