Explanation: The strange-looking rock formations in the foreground of this skyscape are called hoodoos. Towers of weathered, eroded sedimentary rock, hoodoos are found in arid regions of planet Earth and are particularly abundant in an area known as Bryce Canyon National Park in southern Utah, USA. The more familiar night sky pictured here was recorded early Monday morning and includes bright star Capella, alpha star of the constellation Auriga, left of center. On the far right, a very over exposed crescent Moon dominates the sky in close conjunction with the sister stars of the Pleiades cluster. The curious shapes of the two tall, illuminated hoodoos suggest their popular monikers; Thor's Hammer (right) and The Temple of Osiris.

说明: 这幅星野影像前景的怪异结构名为浮图 (hoodoos)；它们是受到风化和浸蚀的沈积岩石柱，常散布在地球干燥不毛的地区，尤其在美国．犹他州南部的布莱斯峡谷国家公园 (Bryce Canyon)最为常见。影像所记录的清晨星野，有中左方我们很熟悉的五车二 (御夫座的最亮星)，右端过度曝光的眉月，以及几乎最它掩住的昴宿星团之七姐妹诸星。影像中这两根形状怪异的浮图石柱，分别名为锤子 (右)和冥神之殿。
