ALMA beneath the stars

An alien green glow illuminates antennas that form part the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), located on Chajnantor Plateau, high up in the Chilean Atacama desert. Above, the recognisable glow of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds is seen amongst a sea of stars in the night sky.
