Mars appears to be at the tip of a dark lane of interstellar dust in the Taurus Dark Clouds. The comet is showing its whitish dust tail and blue ion tail,as well as its cyan coma from diatomic carbon emission. The star cluster at left is NGC 1746.13998776 - A view of the great April aurora show of April 23,2023,looking to the south,with multiple curtains across the sky forming parallel ribbons from east to west at the zenith. Taken from home in southern Alberta,Canada. Dark clouds appear in silhouette in front of the higher aurora.13998596 - The infamous "Green" Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) passing by reddish Mars with both in the constellation of Taurus on the night of Feb 11,2023. The comet was 2° south of Mars this night. Mars was embedded in some of the dark obscuring dust clouds in Taurus,creating the dark patchy appearance to the background sky. The comet's coma glows cyan due to emission from diatomic carbon molecules,a common trait of comets. The dust tail and faint ion tail are just visible.13998286 - The conjunction of the waxing crescent Moon with Venus (bright and below) and Mars (dim and to the left) on June 21,2023,summer solstice evening,with the worlds in clouds in the colourful twilight sky. Earthshine is just visible on the dark side of the Moon,despite the obscuring clouds.13898236 - Orion and Taurus (at top) beside the Milky Way, with Betelgeuse dimmer than usual at this time (about magnitude +1.3) during one of its fading episodes. The Taurus Dark Clouds are at top. Barnard’s Loop, apparently now thought to be a supernova remnant and not a bubble, is at lower left encircling Orion. The Rosette Nebula is at far left. The Auriga clusters and nebulas are at top, as is M35 in Gemini.13888578 - White Lighthouse Illuminated By Sunlight Under Dark Storm Clouds; St. Mary's Island Northumberland England13887340 - Sunlight Shining Through Dark Clouds Onto The Water And Mountains On The Coastline; Argentina13887235 - Landscape Under Dark Storm Clouds; Scott's View Scottish Borders Scotland71447931 - Chile; Southern Chile; Magallanes Region; Puerto Natales; Seno de Ultima Esperanza; in the background the mountains of the southern Cordillera Patagonica; The sun breaks through the dark rain clouds in some places71443336 - Panoramic view of mountain wall.

Comet NEOWISE was in the scene but hidden behind dark weather clouds here.13898765 - Bright reddish Mars above the Hyades star cluster with yellow Aldebaran below Mars to serve as a "compare and contrast " to Mars. The blue Pleiades are at upper right. Two other NGC clusters in Taurus are in the frame: NGC 1647 to the left of the Hyades and NGC 1747 at the right edge of the frame. The small clusters NGC 1817 and 1807 are at lower left. The Taurus Dark Clouds are at upper left. Aldebaran is magnitude +1 while Mars was -0.2 this morning and getting brighter by the day as it approached its December opposition this year, 2022.13898670 - A study in twilight colours at sunset looking east opposite the Sun, with the dark shadow of the Earth, pink Belt of Venus and bright cumulous clouds by contrast. The location is Ulrich Beach at Nambucca Heads, NSW, Australia.13897971 - Galaxy and glacier! This is a vertical panorama of the Milky Way Galaxy over Lake Louise and Victoria Glacier in Banff National Park, Alberta. The Summer Triangle stars of Vega, Deneb and Altair are at centre. The Scutum Starcloud is just above and setting over Victoria Glacier. The dark lanes of interstellar dust — stardust! — weave among the bright star clouds of the Milky Way.13888577 - Dark Storm Clouds With Rain Streaks And Mountains In The Distance; Highlands Scotland13998361 - The rising Full Moon of January 6,2023 over the Badlands of Horseshoe Canyon,near Drumheller,Alberta. Here the Moon is set in the pink Belt of Venus and with dark blue crepuscular rays (or more correctly,anti-crepuscular rays) converging on the point directly opposite the Sun. The rays are shadows cast by clouds in the west,which parted enough for a few moments for the setting Sun to light the foreground,making for a colourful contrast between ground and sky.13998259 - Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) in the constellation of Auriga on the night of Feb 8,2023. The comet is the small cyan-coloured glow above centre. It was technically in Auriga but heading south into Taurus and in front of the Taurus Dark Clouds here at centre. Mars is the bright orange object right of centre.13900439 - A panorama of a fairly bright display of noctilucent clouds to the northwest early in the evening on July 7, 2022. Even so, this was about 11:50 pm MDT. The bright NLCs contrast with the dark silhouettes of the closer and lower tropospheric clouds. A gibbous Moon lights the foreground.13897743 - A panorama of a fairly bright display of noctilucent clouds to the northwest early in the evening on July 7, 2022. Even so, this was about 11:45 pm MDT. Capella is the bright star due north down the north-south range road at right. The bright NLCs contrast with the dark silhouettes of the closer and lower tropospheric clouds. A gibbous Moon lights the foreground.13889198 - UK, Scotland, Dumfries and Galloway, Portpatrick, Lighthouse on shore and dark storm clouds13887445 - Dark Storm Clouds Over A Village On The Coast; Seaton Sluice Northumberland England71443363 - Dark rain clouds and rain in desert. Mesas in Monument Valley.13999638 - This is a roughly 150° panorama of the sunset sky at Sunset Point,Bryce Canyon,Utah,taken as the last light of the Sun was illuminating the distant buttes. The sky has subtle dark rays converging to the anti-solar point,the point opposite the Sun. These are anti-crepuscular rays – shadows cast by clouds in this case,such as the one at left.13899076 - Comet Lovejoy, C/2014 Q2 amid the clusters, nebulas and dark dust clouds of Taurus and Perseus, on Friday, January 16, 2016. Its long blue ion tail stretches back at least 15°, almost to the open cluster NGC 1647 on Taurus at the left edge. At centre is the Pleiades star cluster, M45; at top right is the red California Nebula, NGC 1499, in Perseus, while the field is filled with the dark dusty lanes of the Taurus Dark Clouds. At left is the red giant star Aldebaran amid the V-shaped Hyades star cluster.13836256 - Dark clouds over the savanna at sunset. Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya.13998632 - Mars,the bright orange object right of centre,is here amid the stars and constellations of the winter Milky Way in January 2023. Mars is in Taurus,above Aldebaran and the Hyades,and below the blue Pleiades. The stars of Auriga are at left. At top are stars in Perseus,including the reddish California Nebula. The interstellar Dark Clouds of Taurus are at centre.13998604 - The conjunction of the waxing 4-day-old crescent Moon below the Pleiades,and set in a slightly hazy sky on March 25,2023. The haze adds the colourful "lunar corona" halo around the bright crescent of the Moon from diffraction effects in the high icy clouds. Shot before the sky got dark,the remaining twilight adds the blue to the background sky. Earthshine is visible on the dark side of the Moon.13998490 - A framing of the northern winter sky constellations of Gemini (left),Auriga (top) and Taurus (bottom right). The Messier star clusters M35 in Gemini,and the trio of M36,M37 and M38 in Auriga show up well. The large nebula at upper right is NGC 1499,the California Nebula in Perseus. The Flaming Star,IC 405,and other IC nebulas in Auriga are right of centre. The small round nebula at bottom is IC 2174 in northern Orion. The dark lanes of the Taurus Dark Molecular Clouds are right of centre. Mars is just below centre in Taurus,adding an extra star to this already rich area of sky and matching Ald13998445 - The rising Full Moon of January 6,2023 over the Badlands of Horseshoe Canyon,near Drumheller,Alberta. Here the Moon is set a dark blue crepuscular ray (or more correctly,anti-crepuscular ray) converging on the point directly opposite the Sun. The ray was a shadow cast by clouds in the west,which parted enough for a few moments for the setting Sun to light the foreground,making for a colourful contrast between ground and sky.13900310 - Sunset clouds and colours on December 3, 2013 from Massai Point, Chiricahua National Monument, Arizona. This is a 7-frame HDR High Dynamic Range stack to compress the high contrast from the bright sky and dark foreground into one image. Combined with Photomatix Pro. Taken with the Canon 5D MkIi and Canon 24mm lens at f/8.

The Double Cluster is at right, with the Heart and Soul Nebulas above it, while the Auriga clusters and nebulas are at left. At bottom is the California Nebula and Messier 34 cluster. The Perseus OB Association of hot blue stars is at centre. Capella is the bright star at upper left. The Taurus Dark Clouds are at lower left.13897887 - A nightscape photographer from one of my workshops, shooting in the moonlight at Red Rock Canyon, in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta. Clouds partly obscure the gibbous Moon but add a colourful iridescent corona around the Moon, which is reflected in the Red Rock Canyon Creek. This is an HDR stack of 5 exposures with the 14mm lens and Canon 6D, to preserve detail in the bright clouds and the disk of the Moon, and in the dark shadows.13887452 - A Village Along The Coast Under Dark Clouds; Whitley Bay Northumberland England13829493 - Water flows of the rocks underneath the River Kinglas.
