#PPOD: Taken on an island in the Maldives, this stunning photograph shows the beautiful Milky Way over a night-time shoreline highlighted by vibrant bioluminescence in the water. Also visible is the star cluster Omega Centauri, toward the left, and the famous Southern Cross asterism in the center. Red-glowing nebulas include the bright Carina Nebula, just right of center, and the expansive Gum Nebula on the upper right. Credit: Petr Horálek / Institute of Physics in Opava
