A Spectacular Sky Over the Grand Tetons
			
		
		
		
			Behold the breathtaking beauty of Earth and sky together. 
In the foreground is the 
Teton Mountain Range of 
Wyoming, 
USA.  
The Grand Tetons are a relatively isolated set of high peaks that are part of the 
Rocky Mountains.
On the far left, vast clouds of 
bright stars and dark dust 
are visible in the nearly vertical plane of our 
Milky Way Galaxy.  
Our Galactic Plane appears to 
crash into the Tetons, but is actually far more distant.
On the left, just to the left of the southernmost 
Teton peak, the planet 
Jupiter is visible.
Near the image center is the bright star 
Arcturus.  
Scrolling 
to the far right will bring over the familiar 
asterism of the 
Big Dipper.
Last month it took five images, later digitally fused, to capture the 
majesty of this panoramic view.
