18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
San Manuel Milky Way
The vibrant core of the Milky Way, our home galaxy, rises over the Sonoran Desert just outside of San Manuel, Arizona. The stillness of the night is broken only by a single passing car, which illuminates the giant saguaro cacti standing tall against a field of stars.
