Milky Way glow at Paranal
A stunning equirectangular projected panorama of all four of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) Unit Telescopes (UTs) at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile, as well as a couple of the smaller Auxiliary Telescopes (ATs), all framed by the arcing Milky Way. The observatory's high altitude and remoteness allow for the spectacularly clear skies seen above the facility.
