Is it possible to see the Milky Way with your own eyes like that anywhere in the world? I was just in Death Valley and it was a bit disappointingā¦

Can you see it like that from the naked eye as well?

You won't see it looking close to that anywhere. The long exposure and subsequent editing brings out a ton of detail (and colours) that it's just not possible for us to make out.
Just googled it and reckon the photo at the top of this guy's page gives a pretty good representation of what you can see, which is still pretty awesome in my eyes (although not literally because there's terrible light pollution where I live!!)

Just replied to someone else who asked pretty much the same thing so I'll just link my answer here. Short answer though is you can't see it looking close to anything like that, but can still make out quite a lot of detail if the skies are dark enough.

Even if you canāt see whatās shown on the picture, seeing the Milky Way with your own eyes is a surreal experience. Itās just so massive and so bright in the night sky.

Death Valley was indeed magical. Just me and my friends watching the night sky and Death Valley is also very quiet, which enhances the experience imo. Less than expected, but well worth it.

Couple of years ago I went up the Mt. Rinjani on Lombok and was shocked to see the Milky Way. You camp there at the rim of the caldera and get upt at 3 am to reach the summit by sunrise. The night sky was magnificent. Hard work but it pays off. Never expected to see anything like that.

Interesting. But I have to wonder scientifically if the blotches rifting vertically in this photo, partially obscuring the light are actually some cloud cover on the edge of Earth's atmosphere rather than gaseous phenomena around the stars millions of miles out in space? Just curious what you or the experts think.

You can make out faces in this picture... And then it gets disturbing

This is heavily edited, right? Is it possible to see the original?
Active_Ad3775 t1_isboc9o wrote
Thank you kindly for the new screensaver
Wefeh t1_isbpgia wrote
It's a big nebula that is usually referred to as the Emu, the name originated from australian aboriginal cultures. One of the blotches is called The Coalsack.
To answer it more clearly, it's not part of the Earth's atmosphere at all, it's out there in the milky way

So beautiful, can't wait to one day, fingers crossed, get to see it for real!!!!
LemurSkull t1_isbsov5 wrote
Itās probably a city or a village beneath the clouds. When taking pictures like this of the milkyway you have to set pretty long exposure times on your camera. The long exposure brings out lights you canāt see with the naked eye or makes lights you already can see far brighter than they are.

No, I meant vertically in this photograph. I understand there is a designated "Great Rift" way out in outer space. But didn't know one could actually see with the eye or capture them from just a digital camera off the coast of an island on Earth. Just asking and curious.

It's always so weird to see these comments on the Internet. I live in a place with decently dark skies and low humidity, and also visit frequently areas with super dark skies that even attract lots of amateur astronomers.
The milky way has always been there, like, every night since I was a kid lol

Always proud when the Canary Islands comes up on reddit! Thanks for sharing, great picture!!!

Many, many moons ago, way back in art class, I drew a picture of outer space and drew stars everywhere. Hundreds of little tiny points of light. I thought it was pretty good.
My teacher gave me a C because he said there were too many stars.
Space doesn't have that many stars.
We lived in the city.

Iāve seen it look very similar to this on a very clear summer night in rural Oregon. Honestly, itās a disorienting experience. Iāve never seen anything like it since then.
Vocalscpunk t1_isd5fl2 wrote
Not OP but into photography. It's not 'edited' in the way you're probably thinking but this is an 80 second time lapse of multiple photos overlapped so to say this is what you might see with a naked eye is far from the truth.

Did the clouds protect you from the city light pollution? If so.. this is really lucky and thanks for sharing!

Altitude helps a little. But no. Death Valley should be as good as it gets for brightness really.
I live In northern canada and tried to take a pic with my phone that matched what I could see with my eye and this is pretty close:

darrellbear t1_isdj42m wrote
It's dark nebulosity along the plane of the Milky Way galaxy, and it's many trillions of miles (many light years) away, as are the stars. See the dark cloud shaped like a pipe, just right of the Milky Way, above center? It's called the Pipe Nebula. The center of the galaxy is a little to the lower left of the bowl of the Pipe, behind the one band of dark nebulosity. The Teapot of Sagittarius is on the left side of the Milky Way, opposite the Pipe. The stem of the Pipe points right at Scorpius the Scorpion. The Pipe also forms the back leg of the Dark Horse, which extends to the upper right. You can make out its crooked front leg, neck and head.
There is a ton going on in the pic, I won't bore you with it all.

No, I appreciate it. Very fascinating. I was just suprised digital cameras could pick up the dark nebulosities from this far away on Earth. The stars light energy on the other hand, I completely and obviously get showing from a great distance.

Ringosis t1_iseo98w wrote
It's a picture towards the galactic center, not of the galactic center. None of the stuff you are seeing there is anywhere near the middle. It's mostly dust and stars from our local spur with the stuff in the background being the Perseus Arm. Galactic center is behind that.

If you draw a line from the tip of the Teapot's spout to the bowl of the Pipe, the center of the galaxy is in the middle.
