COSMIC MESSAGE

This image features strange rock formations called hoodoos in the foreground, found in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. These weathered sedimentary rock towers are characteristic of arid regions. Above them, the night sky shows bright star Capella, in the constellation Auriga, and a very bright crescent Moon on the far right.
