Or maybe I'll go for mythology. Here's Orion.
Constelación de Orión y más, una de las zonas del cielo nocturno de invierno que mas me gusta, muy rica en objetos celestes maravillosos para la observación y la astrofotografía.

There have been thousands of generations of humans, and you are alive to witness the first photo of a Sunset on another World.
