Explanation:
The Milky Way
is massively bright on this cold, clear, altiplano night.
At 4,500 meters its reflection in a river, a volcanic peak on the distant
horizon, is captured in this stitched panorama under
naturally dark skies of
the northern Chilean highlands
near San Pedro de Atacama.
Along the Solar System's ecliptic plane,
the band of Zodiacal light
also stands out, extending above the Milky Way toward the upper left.
In the scene from late April, brilliant Mars, Saturn, and Antares
form a bright celestial triangle where
ecliptic meets the center of the Milky Way.
Left of the triangle, the large purple-red emission nebula
Sharpless 2-27, more than twenty Moon diameters wide
is centered around star
Zeta Ophiuchi.
