Night Sky - Grand Staircase National Monument

Camping away from city lights is a memorable experience, and Utah enjoys many dark sky areas. This view of the winter night sky is from the Grand Staircase National Monument. The Milky way is visible in this scene, and the brightest star here is actuallly not a star at all, but the planet Jupiter.
Those familiar with the night sky will enjoy locating constellations and other sights in this view. To view this scene without the various object labels, view this panorama. - Martin van Hemert
