La Silla and the MilkyWay

More info in: Magical Universe. Visit: Flickr Astronomy Expo

 

Panoramic image of the Milky Way Galaxy at La Silla Observatory. A great view of the Magellanic clouds can also be seen to the left of the image. La Silla Observatory is European Southern Observatory's first observatory at Chile. At an elevation of 2,400m and far from any distinct sources of light poloution, the observatory is in the perfect location for astronomical observations and therefore houses the most telescopes of any ESO site at Chile.
