Lattitude
Take an educated guess at which geographical lattitude this image was captured.
This is not my typical Milky Way image. I captured it last night from the flight deck of my beloved Boeing 777 at 33'000 ft. While all the stars are part of our home galaxy, the Milky Way band is not part of the image. The most obvious constellation is the Big Dipper, which should help you find the lattitude.
But that is not the point: For me, this is a very emotional image, because I took it during my last flight for a probably rather long time. Air traffic in Europe has almost completely been shut down by the Corona crisis and for many airlines it not clear when and if they will be able to fly again.
I dedicate this image to all the people out there, who are afraid to loose their jobs due to the catastrophic developments of the last weeks. Stay strong! This crisis will eventually come to an end and we will hopefully draw the right conclusions from this to make the world a better place.
Until then, stay at home whenever you can, to protect the most vulnerable.
