“Luminous Salar de Uyuni” is copyrighted by Stephanie Ziyi Ye. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe bright stars of Orion and Aldebaran, the eye of Taurus, hang in the clear dark skies above the Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia. Below, faint luminous edges trace patterns in the mineral-crusted mud. This ancient lakebed, Salar de Uyuni, is a high-contrast scene inspired by M. C. Escher's work.
