MPG-ESO 2.2-metre telescope at night, Chile
This panoramic photograph shows the Milky Way galaxy arching above ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile. Milky Way arches above the open dome of the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope, which appears to be gobbling up the bright smudge of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Various clouds and nebulae, including the Gum Nebula, stand out against the dark sky in the central upper part of the image, shining in a range of pinkish hues., by ESO/PETR HORALEK/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
