I had an opportunity to visit a small resort island called Landaa
Giraavaru of Maldives during the second week of December 2013. Landaa
Giraavaru (Lat 05o 17' N, Long 73o 6.5' E ) is one of the islands of Baa Atoll1 is about 135 k.m. north of Male, the capital city of Maldives. The nearest island from here is about 2 k.m. east. The sky when clear was always blue to dark blue and the night sky was quite dark. I could see Andromeda galaxy in the north and Large Magellanic Cloud quite comfortably.
The picture below is the reflection of light of Venus on the sea. What appears to be a single ray from Venus going to the upper right corner of the picture is the green laser light that someone was using to point to Venus.
(Atoll is a ring shaped coral reef including a coral rim that encircles a lagoon partially or completely)
