         A starry sky is shown with the busy central band of our Milky Way   
           Galaxy showing rising diagonally from the lower right. In the   
       foreground are flat grasslands leading up to a huge orange rock mound   
      named Uluru. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

      Explanation: What's happening above Uluru? A United Nations World   
      Heritage Site, Uluru is an extraordinary 350-meter high mountain in   
      central Australia that rises sharply from nearly flat surroundings.   
      Composed of sandstone, Uluru has slowly formed over the past 300   
      million years as softer rock eroded away. The Uluru region has been a   
      home to humans for over 22,000 years. Recorded last month, the starry   
      sky above Uluru includes the central band of our Milky Way galaxy,   
      complete with complex dark filaments of dust, bright red emission   
      nebulas, and billions of stars.
