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.<\/p>\n
Good morning. It\u2019s November 22, and today\u2019s photo showcases our very own Milky Way Galaxy above the red rocks of Utah.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve ever hiked in Utah, chances are you\u2019ve heard of the Mount Nebo Loop south of Provo. One of the best features along this hike is Devil\u2019s Kitchen, which features pillars and other interesting rock formations. Taylor Thomas snapped this photograph this summer while visiting the popular outdoor area.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlong this loop is a set of red rock hoodoos that pop out of seemingly nowhere amidst the pine trees,\u201d Thomas told me. \u201cThis photo is technically a panoramic stitched together from three pictures, all single exposures taken at almost the same time with the slightest amount of light painting to illuminate the rocks. No other stacking or multiple exposures and I took as minimal touch as possible with editing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thomas deftly captured the beauty of the Earthly rocks contrasted with the Milky Way\u2014as I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll agree.<\/p>\n
Today is the last day before the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. After this morning, I\u2019m off for the rest of this week and taking next week off from Ars to work on a book project. Therefore, I\u2019ll put a lens cap on the Daily Telescope until December 5. See you then.<\/p>\n
