Welcome to the Daily Telescope. There is a little too much darkness in this world and not enough light, a little too much pseudoscience and not enough science. We'll let other publications offer you a daily horoscope. At Ars Technica, we're going to take a different route, finding inspiration from very real images of a universe that is filled with stars and wonder.
Good morning. It's November 22, and today's photo showcases our very own Milky Way Galaxy above the red rocks of Utah.
If you've ever hiked in Utah, chances are you've heard of the Mount Nebo Loop south of Provo. One of the best features along this hike is Devil's Kitchen, which features pillars and other interesting rock formations. Taylor Thomas snapped this photograph this summer while visiting the popular outdoor area.
