APOD 3.0


This photograph was taken just West of the Ural Mountain Range in Russia, in an area where one of the 7 natural wonders of Russia reside, the Seven Strong Men. These 40 meter tall towers of rock remain a mystery to scientists, as they do not understand how or why they were formed. Above the pillars reside millions of beautiful stars, with a band of our Milky way Galaxy visible running from the top left of the frame to the bottom right. See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download
 the highest resolution version available.
