A picture-perfect example of a natural wonder. Natural sandstone monoliths the "Temple of the Sun" (left) and the "Temple of the Moon" (right) are 'connected' by a Milky Way Galaxy 'bridge'. The Temples stand in Capital Reef National Park of Utah in the US. The Temples have been around since the Jurassic period (160 million years ago), mere babies in regards to the stars, including the Andromeda Galaxy that seems to connect them. The sight is awe-inspiring.
