Milky_Way_Arch.jpg

Summary

Description
Afrikaans: In panoramiese projeksie pryk die Magellaanse Wolke en geboë Melkweg oor die Cerro Paranal, 'n berg in die Atacamawoestyn van noordelike Chili wat ook die tuiste van die Paranal-sterrewag is. Aan die kim, regs, sluit die boog by die gloed van die kusstad Antofagasta aan. Jupiter , net bo die Melkweg, is effens verwronge in hierdie projeksie. Regs het 'n vliegtuig 'n ligspoor oor die koepel van die VISTA-teleskoop nagelaat.
English: The Milky Way arch emerging from the Cerro Paranal , Chile, on the left, and sinking into the Antofagasta's night lights. The bright object in the center, above the Milky Way is Jupiter, somehow elongated due to the panoramic projection. The Magellanic Clouds are visible on the left side, and a plane has left a visible trace on the right, along the Vista enclosure.
