Today’s picture was taken last week by Montreal photographer Wally Palcholka . The gorgeous night shot shows a brilliant Mars on the left, with a reddish star Betelgeuse in the center along with The Belt of Orion. The ET-like landscape is the Buttes of Monument Valley in southern Utah.

NASA’s gallery features a new image every day, along with a brief description written by a professional astronomer.
