I shot this picture in the Canary Islands during an astrophotography trip, on the island of La Palma, which truly deserves its reputation as having one of the best night skies in the world!

That night I had other plans in the mountains, but I had to give them up. In the middle of the night, I needed to find another spot to park the van, so I stopped at a small parking area in front of the observatories’ entrance. It’s not the most scenic place on La Palma, since the landscapes there are less impressive than in the mountains, but I noticed the Milky Way arch rising right above the van. I liked the composition, so I decided to shoot a 360-degree panorama to capture the scene.
The airglow was quite strong that night, so I’m really happy with the result. At first, I intended to keep the panorama horizontal, but using the “planet” projection brought the phenomenon more into focus.
The greenish glow you can see in the image is airglow, a natural phenomenon caused by chemical reactions in the upper atmosphere that produce a faint light at night. Although airglow occurs regularly here thanks to the pristine skies, that night it was particularly strong.
The final image is a panorama made up of 26 pictures for the sky and 17 for the foreground.

Note: This image is the result of long exposures and specific techniques. While the Milky Way is indeed visible to the naked eye from La Palma, it appears with fewer details and without the colors captured in this photo. I used an H-alpha filter to reveal the red nebulae in our galaxy.

Before I die I just once want to see this and the aurora.
Outer wilds irl. Some more words to make character requirement
One time, when I was 16 and on a combination of LSD and lots of mushrooms, I was walking through the woods with some friends and perceived us from above, with awareness in all angles which looked just like this. Happened for a good couple minutes, felt normal while it was happening.
How high up would a camera have to be to make a flat plain the size of the earth look like this?
That green emanation from earth is prosaically referred to as earthstink. It appears to be escaping into space. You have captured this phenomenon well.
