NASA Features Stunning Milky Way Panorama Over Yellowstone

A breathtaking 16-image panorama of the Milky Way over Yellowstone National Park has been featured by NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. The image, taken in 2014, showcases the vibrant colors of Silex Spring, a hot spring in the park, illuminated by artificial light. The spring's colors are caused by layers of bacteria that grow in the hot water. In the distance, the central band of the Milky Way Galaxy arches high overhead, lit by billions of stars. The image highlights the unique natural beauty of Yellowstone and the surrounding landscape.
