A longexposure photo shows Milky Way Galaxy rising behind the waning moon in L'Aquila, Italy, on February 6th, 2024. This phenomenon was visible in the hours before dawn, with the moon in the waning phase at 16.8%. "The Milky Way" is the galaxy where our solar system is located, hosting billions of stars, including our sun. It appears as a luminous band in the night sky, primarily composed of stars, interstellar dust, and gas. (Photo by Lorenzo Di Cola/NurPhoto)
