The Milky Way shines above the Devils Tower in Wyoming. The mountain was the feature landmark for the alien landing in the famous 1977 movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". It is also the very first American national monument. Devils Tower is a monolithic volcanic neck located in the Black Hills in northeastern Wyoming. It rises dramatically 386 m above the surrounding terrain. Jupiter is shining at bottom left. Image taken in June 2009.
