Milky Way over the Pinnacles in Australia
The Pinnacles, ancient limestone spires in Western Australia, stand under a moonlit sky. The eerie glow around the Moon is zodiacal light, sunlight reflected by dust grains orbiting between the planets. The Milky Way stretches across the background, a reminder of our galaxy's vastness above this strange terrestrial landscape.
