“Light at the End of the Road” is copyrighted by Josh Calcino. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe bright light at the end of this country road is a close conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, seen after sunset near Lake Wivenhoe, Australia. This vertical panorama from the Southern Hemisphere also shows the central Milky Way near the zenith. A pillar of Zodiacal light stretches along the ecliptic plane, where Mars and Saturn are also found.
