Can You Identify This Constellation?
David from Chandler, Arizona sent us this picture the other day. He was wondering if our readers could identify this constellation. David says that he took this picture using his Canon EOS 7D. It was around 10pm local time on 1/1/2011. He was facing south and said that the stars were moving from east to west.
The above image is just one frame of a time lapse movie he was taking that evening. You can watch the full time lapse movie here:
