Shahdad Kalut, And Night

The Milky Way Galaxy appears over a Kalut 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)
