  • The moon glows behind a coconut palm tree (Cocos nucifera) as thousands of stars shine above Makena Beach on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Several major stars are visible in this image, including Pleiades, a tight cluster of blue stars that is visible just left of the largest palm tree on the right side of the image, and Aldebaran, a bright orange star near the top-center of the frame. Pleiades is also known as the Seven Sisters even though the cluster contains more than 1,000 stars; the nine brightest stars are named for the Seven Sisters of Greek mythology and their parents. The star cluster is one of the closest to Earth and it formed within the last 100 million years. Both Aldebaran and Pleiades are located in the constellation Taurus.

  • Wispy cirrus clouds fill the sky over Mount Larrabee and the Boulder Peaks in the North Cascades of Washington state. Mount Larrabee, which stands 7,865 feet (2,397 meters) is part of the Skagit Range, which is a sub-range of the North Cascades. It is located less than a mile and a half south of the Canadian border and was originally known as Red Mountain. During the summer months, its red peak, caused by the oxidation of iron in its rock, is distinct.

  • Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) shines in the twilight sky over Skagit Bay in this view from Camano Island, Washington. Comet NEOWISE is a long-period comet and its current orbital path will take about 6,800 years to complete. Its nucleus is about 3 miles (5 kilometers) across and is covered with sooty, dark particles left over from its formation near the birth of our solar system 4.6 billion years ago.

  • Thousands of stars and the planet Venus shine over Crater Lake in Oregon just before sunrise. The planet Venus is the brightest object in the sky and is visible near the center of the image and reflected in the lake. Crater Lake, which is actually a caldera, formed when Mount Mazama erupted violently about 7,700 years ago, causing its summit to collapse. Subsequent eruptions sealed the caldera, trapping rain water and snowmelt, forming the lake, which has a maximum depth of 1,949 feet (594 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder code, is visible in the foreground.

  • The white sand dunes of White Sand Dunes National Monument, New Mexico, appear blue and purple after sunset, reflecting the twilight sky. The white sand dunes are comprised of gypsum crystals, which is rarely found as sand because it is water-soluble. But the Tularosa Basin is surrounded by mountains and there is no direct outlet to the sea for any rain that falls there. Any water eventually drains through the ground leaving the gypsum behind in a crystalline form called selenite. White Sands National Monument is the largest gypsum dune field in the world.

  • The Three Graces reach high into the sky in the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Three Graces are just one of many dramatic sandstone features of the park.

  • Stars are visible in the sky as Old Faithful erupts at dusk in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. When Old Faithful erupts, it can launch as much as 8,400 gallons (32,000 liters) of boiling water as high as 185 feet (56 meters), although the average eruption height is 145 feet (44 meters). The time between eruptions is growing longer on average, possibly because earthquakes have affected underground water levels. The current interval is either 65 or 91 minutes depending on attributes of the prior eruption.

  • Altocumulus clouds, turned pink by the setting sun, fill the sky over badlands formations known as the Tepees in Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. Tepees, also spelled tipi or teepee, is a tent that is traditionally made of animal skins over wooden poles. While humans have lived for 13,000 years in and around the modern day Petrified Forest National Park, the native dwellings were more commonly pithouses and pueblos.

  • A juvenile northern harrier (Circus hudsonius) flies against a blue sky as it looks for food in a field on Fir Island in Skagit County, Washington. The northern harrier is an usual raptor, with a body that resembles a hawk, but a face that's more like an owl's. Its owlish face aids its incredibly sensitive hearing, allowing it to hear mice and voles beneath vegetation.

  • A snowy owl (Nyctea scandiaca) flies against blue skies at Damon Point in Ocean Shores, Washington. Snowy owls, which spend the summer in the northern circumpolar region north of 60 degrees latitude, have a typical winter range that includes Alaska, Canada and northern Eurasia. Every several years, for reasons still unexplained, the snowy owls migrate much farther south in an event known as an irruption. During one irruption, a snowy owl was found as far south as the Caribbean. During the 2011-2012 irruption, Ocean Shores on the Washington coast was the winter home for an especially large number of snowy owls.
