COSMIC MESSAGE

El Capitan in Yosemite National Park stands 3,000 feet from base to summit, just hiding Earth's north celestial pole. This skyscape shows star trails as short arcs, reflecting the planet's daily rotation. The image is a digital stack of 36 sequential exposures. Linear trails from airplane navigation lights and car lights are also captured.
