See it on NASA's siteMars shines brightly now in Earth's sky. Seen with a yellowish hue, it rises over the hills in this night skyscape from Parque Nacional de Cabaneros in Spain. The Milky Way also extends above the distant hills into a starry sky. Its faint pinkish nebulae, cosmic rifts, and rivers of dust are mingled with the pale, diffuse glow of starlight.
