Galactic Home [1]

The Milky Way glows above the mountains of Glacier National Park, Montana, with a bit of lingering twilight. That hazy band of light, which is visible under especially dark skies, outlines the disk of our home galaxy. It is the combined glow of millions of stars, which are too faint to see as individual points of light. [Jacob Frank/National Park Service]
