You’re looking at The Milky Way Galaxy, As Seen From a 747 

Astrophotographer Alex Merga captured the image June 7th, while aboard a red-eye flight from New York to London. The incredible shot was taken while traveling at 600 mph from around 37,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean.

Over 90 exposures of 30 seconds or less were attempted with a fast lens and sensitive camera setting, using a small, flexible tripod and a blanket to block reflections of interior lighting.
