| Caption | The Milky Way rises above a tent on the banks of the Missouri River, in Montana's Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. The brightest area, located just above the horizon, is the bulge of billions of stars surrounding the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. The darker band running diagonally through the milky way is dust concentrated in the plane of the galaxy's disk, obscuring the starlight. Just to the left of the galactic center is the constellation Sagittarius. | |
