“A Red Dome Under the Big Dipper” is copyrighted by M. Colleen Gino. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe dome of the Etscorn Observatory in New Mexico glows translucent red under the Big Dipper. This unusual image was created by opening the dome slightly and illuminating its interior with a red light during a long exposure. The open slit allowed the camera to capture the effect as the dome spun.
