Daily Telescope: Looking up to brilliant skies Down Under
"It was taken using my mobile phone, a Google Pixel 7 Pro."

Good morning. It's January 23, and today's image showcases the night sky as seen from the Southern Hemisphere. It's a simple image of the Milky Way from a mobile phone, but it manages to capture so much grandeur.
Erin Mikan said she was inspired to send in this photo after our recent image from Playa Grande, Mexico, showcasing the Milky Way Galaxy above a bioluminescent bay.
"This image was taken in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales in Australia between Sydney and Canberra," she said. "It was taken using my mobile phone, a Google Pixel 7 Pro, in September 2023."
I'd say that's quite a night sky you've got there Down Under, Erin.
Now some readers of the Daily Telescope may be saying, "Eric, you sure are biased toward the Milky Way Galaxy." The Milky Way has now appeared in something like half a dozen featured photos. And you know what, you're correct! I am biased toward the Milky Way because it's the best one. My kids live here.
