In this picture, four main things are visible. The Earth, the moon, and Venus, and Spica. The long exposure of a camera resulted in the vibrant and magical colors seen. The moon is in crescent phase, with 2 stars by it's side. Closest to the moon is Venus, and the more distant one is bluish Spica, alpha star. Spica is in the constellation Virgo. I like this picture so much because it has so many different levels of outerspace. Theres Earth our home planet with its beautiful nature, our Moon which is very different than Earth but still close, Venus that's in our own solar system, and Spica which is so far from us compared to the other three things in the picture.
