APOD 1.7

Behold, the temples of the Sun and the Moon, connected by the inseparable bridge that is the Milky Way. From this view one can witness everything from the Summer triangle of Deneb, Vega and Altair to an actual galaxy, Andromeda to be specific, along with a few other Messier objects and constellations. Taken in Capitol Reef National Park in Utah, the two stone monoliths stand a mighty 100 meters tall and have lasted for over 160 million years. A beautiful example of what can be seen in complete darkness, this multi-image panorama is definitely a sight to behold.
