Astronomy Tuesday

And speaking of Australia....

This otherwordly landscape beneath the literally otherworldly Milky Way is Nambung National Park, on the west coast near Perth, a good half continent away from the touristy east coast and central desert sites I'll be visiting in a few weeks. Those limestone pillars are called the Pinnacles, and they're the oddly eroded remains of ancient seabeds.
