13899970 - The small constellation of Sagitta the Arrow, in the Milky Way. The small globular cluster, Messier 71, is between Gamma Sagittae and Delta Sagittae. Below M71 is the very sparse star cluster Harvard 20. The emission nebula Sharpless 2-84 is supposedly at centre but does not show up here except perhaps as a dim blue area of reflection nebulosity, though there is some faint red emission nebulosity at lower right.13900158 - The sparse star cluster IC 4665 in Ophiuchus above the yellow star Cebalrai or Beta Ophiuchi. This is a big cluster best suited to observing with binoculars.13998744 - This is a framing of the starfield in the Milky Way from Sagitta the Arrow,at bottom,to the planetary nebula Messier 27 or the Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula at top. The globular star cluster M71 is at lower left in Sagitta. The sparse open cluster NGC 6830 is at top right. Interstellar dust dims and yellows the starfield.13998473 - A portrait of the constellation of Lyra the Harp from May 2023,with a 135mm telephoto lens to frame this small pattern. Vega is the bright star and the double star to the left of Vega is Epsilon Lyrae. The colourful small group below it is the sparse star cluster Stephenson 1 surrounding the stars Delta1 and Delta2 Lyrae. The globular cluster M56 is just in the lower left corner.13900356 - The famous Double Cluster (NGC 869, right and NGC 884, left) in Perseus, in a wide-field shot that includes the nearby stars clusters NGC 957 to the left, and Trumpler 2 at bottom left. The large and sparse cluster Stock 2, aka the Muscle Man Cluster, is at upper right. The field is filled with yellow supergiant stars. The field of view is similar to that of binoculars.13999232 - This is the field containing the bright,large,but sparse star cluster Messier 39 in Cygnus,at lower left,amid a rich starfield laced with dark dust. The elongated dark nebula Barnard 363 is at centre. The patch at top os B362.13898435 - The famous Double Cluster (NGC 869, right and NGC 884, left) in Perseus, in a wide-field shot that incl;udes the large and sparse cluster Stock 2, aka the Muscle Man Cluster, is at top, looking here as if it outlined by a square border of stars. The field is filled with yellow supergiant stars.13819185 - Aerial view of Acque Sparse lake in the autumn season, Eita, Val Grosina, Valtellina, Sondrio Province, Lombardy, Italy, Europe13819184 - Aerial view of Acque Sparse lake in the autumn season, Eita, Val Grosina, Valtellina, Sondrio Province, Lombardy, Italy, Europe13819183 - Aerial view of Acque Sparse lake in the autumn season, Eita, Val Grosina, Valtellina, Sondrio Province, Lombardy, Italy, Europe13819182 - Acque Sparse lake in the autumn season, Eita, Val Grosina, Valtellina, Sondrio Province, Lombardy, Italy, Europe70402882 - Goats and beduin tents at sparse mountains, back country of the Dead Sea, Mount Nebo, Jordan, Middle East, Asia71109432 - sparse domain that is typical for the Alb plateau with plenty of rocks in soil, district Salmendingen, Zollernalb district, Swabian Alb, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany71088910 - The sparse scenery in the volcano area Teide national park Las Cañadas, Tenerife, Canary islands, Spain71088909 - The sparse scenery in the volcano area Teide national park Las Cañadas, Tenerife, Canary islands, Spain71109493 - dead wood at the sparse surface of the Wen Valley, the Wen Valley is a typical dry valley north west of Steinheim at Albuch at the plateau of the Swabian Alb, Heidenheim district, Swabian Alb, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany71109492 - sparse landscape at the Wen valley, the Wen Valley is a typical dry valley north west of Steinheim at Albuch at the plateau of the Swabian Alb, Heidenheim district, Swabian Alb, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany71018133 - A young woman wearing a down jacket and hat sitting in front of a camp fire in a sparse forest, in front of her bivouac material, behind her a tent and a lake, Urho Kekkonen National Park, Finnish Lapland, Finland70369103 - Mountain landscape with sparse vegetation at Kaperdalen, Erstfjord, Senja island, Troms, Norway71094678 - Sparse spruces in a coniferous forest in the fog, Radein, South Tirol, Alto Adige, Italy71108225 - A pair of bull moose wander through a sparse taiga forest in Denali National Park & Preserve, Interior Alaska, Autumn71088905 - Typical sparse landscape with cacti in the highland around the highest mountain Teide, province Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Vilaflor, Tenerife, Canary islands, Spain71080044 - Snow covered peaks and sparse evergreen trees bathed in sunset light, Kings Bay, Prince William Sound, Whittier, Alaska, United States of America71080043 - Snow covered peaks and sparse evergreen trees bathed in sunset light, Kings Bay, Prince William Sound, Whittier, Alaska, United States of America71326349 - Conehead mantis, Empusa pennata, waiting for prey at sunset. Young animal. It occupies areas of sparse vegetation or grasslands of arid and warm zones. It is arranged on dry branches and herbs, where camels and stalks their prey. They are of daytime habits. It feeds on a great diversity of invertebrates, from flies and spiders, to small grasshoppers. Their strategy of hunting is to stalk their prey with the abducted raptor legs and then throw them forward and capture the prey with the help of the thorns of their femurs. Once the prey is immobilized, it approaches its first pair of legs to the 71326348 - Conehead mantis, Empusa pennata, waiting for prey at sunset. Young animal.
