Behold the breathtaking beauty of Earth and sky together. 
In the foreground is the 
<A href=" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Tetons" linkindex="5">Teton Mountain Range</A> of 
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyoming" linkindex="6">Wyoming</A>,

The Grand Tetons are a relatively isolated set of high peaks that are part of the 
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountains" linkindex="8" set="yes">Rocky Mountains</A>.
On the far left, vast clouds of 
<A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070430.html" linkindex="9">bright stars and dark dust</A> 
are visible in the nearly vertical plane of our 
<A href="http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/galaxy.html" linkindex="10">Milky Way Galaxy</A>.  
Our <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050605.html" linkindex="11">Galactic Plane</A> appears to 
<A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070508.html" linkindex="12">crash</A> into the Tetons, but is actually far more distant.
On the left, just to the left of the southernmost 
<A href="http://www.nps.gov/grte/" linkindex="13">Teton</A> peak, the planet 
<A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050913.html" linkindex="14">Jupiter</A> is visible.
Near the image center is the bright star

<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea_Scrolls" linkindex="16">Scroll</A>ing

Last month it took five images, later digitally fused, to capture the 
majesty of this panoramic view.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B6E3E8B4-2572-4314-8183-16B893B6133C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
