**Astronomy Picture of the Day**

The city lights outshine the stars in the City That Never Sleeps . Who would have thought that the Milky Way could be visible in this sky? This image was taken with a filter that blocks most visible light , capturing instead only light in the near- infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (with lower energy than visible light). The astrophotographer's clever setup blocks most of the light pollution from the city: old incandescent light bulbs and some neon lights are still bright in the near-infrared, but fluorescent and LED light bulbs are not. Of course, stars are also bright in the near-infrared! This image is a reminder that we all live under the same sky , and astronomy allows all of us to learn more about humanity's place in the Cosmos .
