   Explanation: What do you see when you look into this sky? In the
   center, in the dark, do you see a night sky filled with stars? Do you
   see a sunset to the left? Clouds all around? Do you see the central
   band of our Milky Way Galaxy running down the middle? Do you see the
   ruins of an abandoned outpost on a hill? (The outpost is on Askold
   Island, Russia.) Do you see a photographer with a headlamp
   contemplating surreal surroundings? (The image is a panorama of 38
   images taken last month and compiled into a Little Planet projection.)
   Do you see a rugged path lined with steps? Or do you see the eye of a
   dragon?

                    Tomorrow's picture: day equals night
