Title:
Starry Night Castle
Explanation:
The tantalizing Pleiades [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] star cluster seems to lie just beyond the trees above a dark castle tower [ http://www.twanight…] in this dramatic view [ http://www.clearski…ruin and Holmes.htm ] of The World at Night [ http://www.twanight…]. Recorded earlier this month, the starry sky also features bright star Aldebaran [ http://www.astro.ui…aldebaran.html ] below the Pleiades and a small, faint, fuzzy cloud otherwise known as Comet Holmes [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] near picture center at the top of the field. Starry Night Castle might be [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] an appropriate name for the medieval castle ruin in the foreground. But its traditional name is Mörby Castle [ http://www.castleso…index.php?action=alb um&id=1421&sessionid = ], found north of Stockholm, near lake Skedviken in Norrtälje, Sweden.
