Zodiacal Light Over GTC Observatory

From the photographer: “The rich colors of twilight, deep blue sky, shining stars and glorious Zodiacal light, it was indeed a night to remember. Captured during my trip to La Palma in May 2022, from the highest point of the island, with a nice view to GTC observatory. With a 10.4 meter mirror, GTC is one of the biggest optical telescopes in the world.”
