Explanation:
The surface
of this planet looks a little
like Mars.
It's really planet Earth
though.
In a digitally stitched little planet projection, the
360 degree mosaic was captured near San Pedro in the Chilean
Atacama desert.
Telescopes in domes on the horizon are taking
advantage of the region's famously dark, clear nights.
Taken in early December, a magnificent
Milky Way arcs above the horizon
for almost 180 degrees around the little planet with Orion
prominent in the southern sky.
A familiar constellation upside down for northern
hemisphere skygazers, Orion shares that southern December night
almost opposite the Large and Small Magellanic clouds.
But the Red Planet
itself is the brightest yellowish celestial beacon in
this little planet sky.
