   Explanation: Winter and summer appear to come on a single night to this
   stunning little planet. It's planet Earth of course. The digitally
   mapped, nadir centered panorama covers 360x180 degrees and is composed
   of frames recorded during January and July from the Col du Galibier in
   the French Alps. Stars and nebulae of the northern winter (bottom) and
   summer Milky Way form the complete arcs traversing the rugged, curved
   horizon. Cars driving along on the road during a summer night
   illuminate the 2,642 meter high mountain pass, but snow makes access
   difficult during winter months except by serious ski touring. Cycling
   fans will recognize the Col du Galibier as one of the most famous
   climbs in planet Earth's Tour de France.
