This picture shows you the autumnal Milky Way crossing the sky captured before dawn in August with a whole-sky fish-eye photo lens. The Milky Way is flowing from west to eastern sky, and you can see the dimmed Zodiac light stretched from around the Pleiades in lower east to the southern autumnal skies.
