Where the Sky meets the Mountains

 

From the rugged Alabama Hills, the vivid colors of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex and the Dark Horse Nebula drift low over Lone Pine Peak. The scene captures intricate molecular dust clouds illuminated by starlight, revealing one of the most colorful and dynamic regions in the night sky as it meets the dramatic Sierra Nevada landscape.
