Horseshoe, Milky Way, and Zodiacal Light

The arc of the winter Milky Way and zodiacal light shine above the Horseshoe Bend, Arizona, USA. Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River. It’s a stunning natural wonder carved by the relentless flow of the Colorado River over millions of years. The canyon is roughly 1,000 feet deep and 270 degrees around, making it a truly awe-inspiring sight. You can also see the Moon and Jupiter conjunction in the zodiacal light in the middle of the frame.
