The Milky Way arcing across the sky with some low hills at the base of the image. There is some sunset or zodiacal light near the horizon as well, orange in color.
I love learning about various human societies' legends and beliefs surrounding the Milky Way. Recently I learned about some Australian Aboriginal people who believed the galaxy was a river that souls crossed in a canoe, and the stars were their campfires along the river. Beautiful.

I spent this morning inside Assad’s infamous #Damascus slaughterhouse prison, Sednaya. I’ve spent much of my career investigating what was being done to defenceless human beings in this place. Now we know everything. It’s worse than you could possibly imagine.
