 the highest resolution version available.This stunning photograph shows an observatory in the Caucasus Mountains in Russia in the foreground. The middle layer of the image depicts the scenery of that region, which contains the highest mountain in Europe. Through the clouds, the Milky Way can be clearly seen.
