Winter and Summer on a Little Planet
Winter and Summer on a Little Planet

Explanation:
Winter and summer appear to come on a single night to this
stunning little planet.
It’s planet Earth of course.
The
digitally mapped,
nadir centered panorama covers 360×180
degrees and is
composed of frames recorded during January and July from the
Col du Galibier
in the French Alps.
Stars and nebulae of the northern winter (bottom)
and summer Milky Way form the complete arcs
traversing the rugged, curved horizon.
Cars driving along on the road during a summer night
illuminate the 2,642 meter high mountain pass,
but snow makes access difficult during winter months
except by
serious ski touring.
Cycling fans will recognize
the Col du Galibier as one of the most
famous climbs in planet Earth’s Tour de France.
