by @babaktafreshi, The World at Night. My best seasonal greetings to everyone. Stars of prominent winter constellation Orion, the Hunter, rise above #Himalayas in a moonlit night of the World Heritage Sagarmatha National Park, #Nepal. Pictured here is Mt Thamserku (6623m). Note the little red cloud in the center. It is the Orion Nebula, visible (though colorless) to the unaided eyes in a dark night. @natgeocreative @natgeo
