Milky Way over Lagoa do Fogo. View of the Milky Way in the night sky over the Lagoa do Fogo (Lake of Fire) crater lake of the Agua de Pau stratovolcano, Sao Miguel Island, Azores. The light of Vila Franca do Campo, a town at the southern shore of the island, can be seen illuminating the clouds on the horizon. In the sky, Antares, the bright star that marks the heart of Scorpio, can be seen at right, next to the bright central bulge of the galaxy.
