La Silla lunar eclipse
The intricate details of the magnificent Milky Way — its dust lanes and blankets of gas — are revealed in this photograph, taken at ESO's La Silla Observatory. To the right of the image, the large reddish orb is actually the result of a Lunar Eclipse — when the Moon moves into Earth's shadow — set against a star-studded night sky.
