A little before midnight on a June night in 2024, the Milky Way low over the Bryce amphitheater and the hoodoos just holding their shape below it. Bryce is a Gold-tier International Dark Sky Park. At the viewpoints, use only red light: white light ruins everyone's night vision. The 30-second exposure that lets the hoodoos show also stretches the stars slightly, so we offer this one only in the smaller sizes.

The sky that night
Night of June 7–8, 2024 · 11:27 pm by the camera's clock
- Moon
- Waxing crescent, 4% lit · 1.7 days old

- Peak core season. The galactic core is up for a good part of the night.
Worked out from the capture time, not the place: the moon’s phase is the same everywhere on Earth at a given moment.
