Close to the stars - Dubai - United Arab Emirates
It's hard to see the stars in the heart of Dubai, with light pollution and a halo of dust blurring the sky. Despite this, a few are visible on this one-hour pose, forming a circle around the Burj Khalifa, the tallest human construction since 2010. Standing at 828m, the tower sits at the center of a new neighborhood in Dubai. The stars on the right are those of the Big Dipper, those on the left of the constellation Perseus, with the brilliant Capella del Cocher at the top of the image.
