This is one frame from a 2 1/2 hour time lapse at Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde, Maine. A meteor burns up in the atmosphere making a triangle in the sky including Venus and the core of the Milky Way.
The Milky Way rises above the desert dunes at Goblin Valley State Park near Green River, Utah while the setting crescent moon lights up the foreground and creates a 'blue hour' glow in the sky.
