  • A bright moonbow forms at the base of Upper Yosemite Fall during a full moon in Yosemite National Park, California. Yosemite Falls, height of 2,425 feet (739 meters), is the highest measured waterfall in North America and the fifth-highest in the world.

  • The Milky Way is visible in the midnight sky over the eastern flank of Mount Rainier in Washington state. The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our solar system and is comprised of as many as 400 billion stars and 100 billion planets. Its name comes from the appearance of a band of stars that from Earth are so close together that they cannot be distinguished as individual stars with the naked eye. Mount Rainier, which has a summit of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), is the highest mountain in Washington state and largest volcano in the Cascade Range. This view was captured from Sunrise in Mount Rainier National Park.

  • The solar corona shines bright over the pinnacle of a butte in the Mormon Basin of Malheur County, Oregon, during the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017.

The sun's surface is far brighter than the corona, usually outshining it. During a total solar eclipse when the moon blocks the view of the main body of the sun, the corona becomes visible.

  • Half Dome, turned red by the twilight glow, towers over the Merced River in Yosemite National Park, California. Half Dome, 8836 feet (2693 meters) tall, is a granite dome that seems to be missing a large section. While named Half Dome, the missing piece is likely a quarter, rather than half. Scientists believe the missing granite also eroded away as fast as it was exposed, rather than falling off in a dramatic event.
