“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 siteThis surreal rock structure, the King of Wings hoodoo, is located in New Mexico, USA. Hoodoos form when a layer of hard rock overlays softer, eroding rock. Above this fascinating geological formation, the Milky Way stretches across the night sky. Capturing both the terrestrial and celestial elements required careful planning for this photoshoot.
