The Centaur of Sahara

Stars of constellation Centaurus shine above bizarre rock formation in the World Heritage Site of Tassili National Park in Sahara. Move the slider on the image to see the constellations guide lines and labels. Prehistoric skygazers surely witnessed a similar sky. In addition to dramatic sandstone formations, the Tassili region is noted for rock paintings and archaeological sites dating to neolithic times. © Babak Tafreshi
