The Tatra Mountains represent a natural border between Slovakia and Poland. The Tatra Mountains, the highest mountain range in the Carpathian Mountains, are a prominent destination for astrophotographers. The image, captured in May, depicts the central region of our Milky Way galaxy, encompassing two of its renowned stellar nurseries: the Lagoon and Omega Nebula, situated just beyond the Tatra Mountains. Stellar nurseries are characterized by a high concentration of ionized hydrogen, a fundamental component for the formation of water that is abundant on Earth. As a fundamental ingredient in all known forms of life, water is a crucial element in the Universe. The Bialka River, which is visible in the foreground, is an example of such water.
