COSMIC MESSAGE

Venus and Jupiter are framed by the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. This photo was taken on March 9. A heliostat on top of the 100-foot tower focuses the Sun's rays down to the telescope's primary mirror. After sunset, the structure was lit by the nearly full rising Moon.
