Top 10 images of the world at night@MSNBC
4 March 2009
The night sky, shown here in its brilliance over Monument Valley on the Utah-Arizona border, is the forgotten half of our environment, says Mike Simmons, the president and founder of Astronomers Without Borders. Simmons, along with coordinator Babak Tafreshi, are producing a project called The World at Night, or TWAN, which aims to remind us of our place in the universe through a series of stunning night sky images, made from familiar landmarks around the world.
"It is more than something beautiful; it is something that is part of our world," he says of the night sky. More information: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29470549/
