“Milky Way over Yellowstone” is copyrighted by Dave Lane. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe bright band of the Milky Way arches over Yellowstone National Park. The colors in the hot spring below are from bacteria, heated by a magma chamber deep underground. The spring is about 10 meters across, while the Milky Way is 100,000 light-years wide, a cosmic coincidence of scale.
