Constellation Orion with airplane "pearl of lights" going across nearby (timed photo)
January 15, 2009 | Joaquin, Texas | Vetting explained
iReport —
Howdy, submitted is a photo of Orion and its "neighborhood", as taken with a Nikon D80 with the shutter open at 47 seconds.
What makes this photo unique are two powerlines for scale, and if you look carefully, you'll see a pearl of lights which are an airplane's marker light.
