4.6: Alborz Mountain Milky Way


This is a picture of the stratovolcano Mt. Damavand. It is 5,670 meters high and is part of the Alborz Mountain Range near the Caspian Sea. To the left of the peak you can see the Big Dipper in Ursa Major and the Milky Way. Deneb, Altair, Antares, and Jupiter can also be seen in the picture. I wish we could see this many stars in Sarasota!
