Daily Telescope: Life on Earth, and maybe in the heavens above, in a single photo
It is fun to contemplate all of the life on display in this image.

Good morning. It's January 15, and today's image comes to us from Playa Grande, Mexico.
I realize that some readers may be tiring of seeing the Milky Way Galaxy, but not me! I love photos of our galaxy and so they are regularly featured in the Daily Telescope. However, this photo is truly special, as it highlights not just the heavens above, but one of the wonders here on Earth.
Alfonso Tamés sent me this image, and I can't get enough of it. The photo showcases both our galaxy and a bit of the Orion Nebula in the sky and bioluminescence in the ocean—that is light being emitted by marine life in the sea. One of the most amazing nights I've ever had is kayaking in a bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico, such an eerie and otherworldly experience.
It is fun to contemplate all of the life on display in this image, both what is known in the ocean and what may exist around all those stars above. Have a great week, everyone.
