A Dark Sky Over Death Valley

This 360-degree panorama shows the dark sky over Death Valley, California, one of the darkest places in the continental USA. It's a composite of 30 images, digitally processed to show the full expanse of the night sky. In the foreground, a rock pushed by high winds sits on Racetrack Playa. The image captures the natural glow of the night sky, now increasingly threatened by light pollution.
