Fluidr / The Stars Against all Odds by lrargerich

This is a curious photo that I was about to delete but...

The photo shows the light of the moon behind some clouds, surprinsingly there are some stars that can also be seen behind the clouds.

Above the Moon you can find Alpha Librae: Zubenelgenubi and if you go a little higher you will see a string of stars that look like pearls, those are stars in the constellation Hydra forming a popular asterism.

I was very surprised to see this in a cloudy photo.
