This is a photo capturing the unique rock pillars known as 'Pinnacles' in the Nambung National Park in Western Australia, along with the Milky Way. The Pinnacles are made of limestone, composed of ancient seashells, but how they were formed has not yet been revealed. In the background of the photo, a brightly shining moon can be seen at the tip of the central Pinnacle. The mysterious light surrounding the moon is largely caused by 'zodiacal light,' a phenomenon produced by dust particles drifting between the planets in the solar system that reflect sunlight. The upper portion of the photo reveals the core of the Milky Way.
