See it on NASA's siteThe Milky Way appears to rain down on Earth twice a day. As the Sun rises, the scattered sunlight from our atmosphere makes the night sky's wonders fade from view. They reappear as Earth eclipses the Sun at dusk. This dramatic image captures the Milky Way over a rock formation in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah.
