In the Syria war, a white band has a constellation in the night sky above the ruins of the deserted town of Ariha, which was devastated by the violence.
The appearance Saturday before the dawn of the milky way, rare phenomenon which occurs most commonly in the summer sky without the moon, has created a striking contrast between the sky and the earth, immortalized by a photographer of the AFP due to long exposure photos. Under this broad cloud of stars, the skeletons of buildings, the rubble, the facades and roofs ripped seem all the more appalling.
