A nebulous sky
The incredibly dark and transparent sky of Paranal, in the Atacama Desert, Chile, is the perfect place to see the bright emission of various nebulae. The white dome of the Residencia occupies the bottom of the image. La Residencia hosts those working at ESO's Paranal Observatory. The hotel represents an oasis in the dry and harsh conditions of the Chilean Atacama desert.
