Tyrol, Where Mountains Meet Starry Sky

The Alpine state of Tyrol in western Austria is a meeting point of stunning mountains and starry sky. This view of the Milky Way looks toward the south at the border with Italy. The towns in northern Italy have illuminated the horizon. Down in the valley the Brenner Autobahn is visible, a short famous highway that connects Innsbruck to Italy through the Alps. © Christoph Malin
