Uluru changes color due to sunlight and rock composition

Uluru, also called Ayers Rock, is a massive monolith in Australia's Northern Territory.

The rock changes color due to sunlight hitting its oxidized iron minerals at different angles.

Uluru appears pink in the morning and golden by evening, also showing orange and purple hues.

The site is deeply sacred to local Aboriginal people.

Best time to visit is May to September when temperatures are cooler.
