2021 September Wallpaper


Each month the Salk e-newsletter ends with a stunning photo to take your desktop on a journey into scientific discoveries. Pick your favorite images, and download them as your Zoom background or desktop wallpaper.

Twice a year, on the spring and fall equinoxes, the sunset lines up perfectly with the “River of Life” in the Salk courtyard. According to the National Weather Service, this marks the time when the day-to-night line, called the terminator, is perfectly vertical from pole to pole and the sun is directly over the equator.
