Milky Way over Paranal

A trail of lights leads the way towards Cerro Paranal, atop which sits ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). Looming over the flagship observatory, the familiar glow of the Milky Way, studded by dark dust lanes, appears to touch the telescopes. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are also visible in the lower left of the image.
