Venus, Mars And The Earthshine Moon

From the photographer: “The possibility of observing the narrow lunar sickle inside the summer Milky Way happens only for a few days during the year. It is a rare event that is even more unique if, in addition to the Moon, it is possible to observe other planets within the faint glow of our galaxy.

Venus and Mars are visible within the Sagittarius constellation just above the ancient factory of the Vendicari reserve, of which it is still possible to observe the ancient structure and the majestic chimney. Although the Moon has risen for about an hour, Venus and Mars showed up about half an hour before the end of the astronomical night along with the Milky Way. They are reflected with the moon on the sea as the twilight begins to illuminate the horizon orange, rivaling the soft glow of the infinite stars of our galaxy.
