#MoonRays

A panoramic view of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory in Armenia at night. The first quarter Moon is partially hidden behind clouds, casting moon rays across the sky. The constellations Perseus and Pegasus are visible, along with the bright star Enif and the planet Jupiter. The 2.6-meter telescope dome is backlit by the lights of Yerevan.
