This beautiful skyscape is painted across the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy.

At the end of last year's northern summer, after its dazzling opposition, Mars still shone brightly in the night.

This festively colored skyscape was captured in the early morning hours of December 17, following Comet Wirtanen's closest approach to planet Earth. The comet was just visible to the eye.

From a radiant in the constellation of the Twins, the annual Geminid meteor shower rained down on our fair planet this week.

The highest peak on planet Earth is framed in this mountain and night skyscape.

A crescent Moon is about to sink under the western horizon in this sea and night skyscape.

Last Sunday when the Moon was young its sunlit crescent hung low near the western horizon at sunset.

What's inside this cosmic cave? A stellar nursery 10 light-years deep.
