“The Milky Way over Snow-Capped Himalayas” is copyrighted by Tomas Havel. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Himalayan Mountains are the tallest on Earth, but they don't measure up to the Milky Way. Visible above the snow-capped mountains in this image is the arcing central band of our home galaxy. The bright spot just above the central plane is the planet Jupiter, while the brightest orange spot on the upper right is the star Antares. The astrophotographer took these photos in below-zero temperatures at nearly 4,000 meters altitude.
