APOD 1.5

Have I gone color blind? Does it seem like the photo is in black and white? Well don't worry, we haven't gone crazy, the photo was taken with a digital camera then enhanced the photo to make it black and white. This beautiful photo was taken at Hatteras Island in North Carolina above the dunes and next to the water.  Behind the dunes lies the ocean which looks like just a sea of stardust. Above the dunes the stars really shine out from the use of the contrasting colors in the photo. Several parts of constellations can be found from the glowing array of stars in this picture.   Sagittarius the archer can be found with in the center next to Scorpius the Scorpion. Zubenelgenubi can also be found within the clusters of stars. Its amazing how beautiful a black and white picture can turn out.
