“King of Wings Hoodoo under the Milky Way” is copyrighted by Wayne Pinkston (LightCrafter Photography). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe King of Wings is a unique rock formation, or hoodoo, located in New Mexico. Hoodoos form when a layer of hard rock protects softer rock beneath it from erosion. This particular hoodoo, while not massive, creates a surreal silhouette under the Milky Way. Its capstone rock overhangs only a few meters.
