This picture was taken in Hawaii on top of the volcanoe Mauna Kea. From the looks of it the sky was beyond clear. You can see the green airglow above the clouds. This is caused by excited are molecules during the day caused by the sun. The bright orb to the right is the moon and the center band filled with many stars is the milky way. The way this picture brings everything together is amazing. All the colors and the person standing in the middle bringing it all together makes for one of my favorite APODs this year.
