Photograph by Chloe Rae, Your Shot
The Milky Way curves through the night sky over Figueroa Mountain, California, in a picture submitted September 21 to National Geographic's Your Shot photography community.
"This part of the Milky Way is only around during the summer, and it rises and sets every single night," Chloe Rae, who took the 360° panorama, said with her submission.
All the stars in the night sky are part of the Milky Way, the spiral galaxy in which we live. For many star-watchers, however, the term refers specifically to the glowing, cloudy band which humans have pondered since ancient times.
