A Dark Sky Over Sequoia National Park
This 360-degree panorama from Mt. Whitney in Sequoia National Park, California, shows a dark sky above the highest summit in the contiguous USA. Angular boulders populate the foreground, with peaks of the Sierra Nevada visible in the distance. Light pollution from Los Angeles and Fresno glows on the horizon, while the Milky Way stretches across the sky above.
