Shahdad Kalut, And Night
The Milky Way Galaxy appears over the Kaluts in the Shahdad Kalut Desert near Kerman, 1,335 km (830 miles) southeast of Tehran, Iran, on May 22, 2025, at midnight. The word ''Kalut'' refers to a natural landform created by wind erosion in arid desert environments. Kaluts are large ridge-like or tower-shaped formations made from compacted sand and soil, sculpted over time by strong desert winds. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
