   Explanation: What do you see when you look into this sky? In the
   center, in the dark, do you see a [4]night sky filled with stars? Do
   you see a [5]sunset to the left? Clouds all around? Do you see the
   central band of our [6]Milky Way Galaxy running down the middle? Do you
   see the [7]ruins of an [8]abandoned outpost on a hill? (The outpost is
   on [9]Askold Island, [10]Russia.) Do you see a photographer with a
   headlamp contemplating [11]surreal surroundings? (The image is a
   panorama of 38 images taken last month and compiled into a [12]Little
   Planet projection.) Do you see a rugged path lined with [13]steps? Or
   do you see the [14]eye of a dragon?
