Photos by @babaktafreshi | A dry streambed in a remote spot of Death Valley National Park, California, one of the driest places on Earth and an international dark sky park—where the natural night environment is protected from light pollution, both for wildlife and stargazers. The yellow glow on the horizon originates from a distance of 150 miles (250 km) away—it's light from Los Angeles that was faintly visible to the naked eye but more revealed in this 15-second exposure. Sirius, the brightest star in our night sky, is visible above it. Swipe to the next image to see higher up in the sky where bright winter stars form a large asterism (not a constellation) known as the Winter Hexagon. Can you find it?
