A stormy sky
After sunset a partially cloudy sky can promote a beautiful show of colours,seen here over Cerro Paranal, in northern Chile. Stormy looking clouds are unlikely to release any rain in this exceptionally arid area, but they add a striking feature to the sky over two Auxiliary Telescopes (AT) of the ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) array.
