Chaco Mesas with Wall This ruin along the Gallo Wash in Chaco Canyon, NM, gave ancient Southwest Indian visitors to the religious site a perfect view of Fajada Butte in the distance (far right). The Butte is famous for the discovery of an archaeoastronomy feature, a "light dagger" that falls across the center of a spiral design carved into a rock high on the Butte during the winter and summer solstice. Overhead spreads the Bug Nebula, a dark cloud of gas and dust that veils in mystery one of the brightest known dying stars in the Southern Constellation. STScI-2004-46 courtesy of NASA, ESA, and A. Zijlstra (UMIST, Manchester, UK). Note Card 4.25 x 5.5" blank note card comes in a clear bag with envelope. $1.50 each includes shipping
