available.This image was taken in Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. The two large rock structures are the temple of the sun and the temple of the moon. Using panoramic photography, images of the sky were linked together to show the arch of the Milky Way connecting the two temples. Some features of the night sky are also labeled, such as the galaxy Andromeda and the summer triangle. This photograph depicts an answer to a question that has been asked throughout the centuries: how are the sun and moon connected?
