The Winter Sky from San Pedro

The Milky Way above the landscape. A bright cone of zodiacal light can be seen on the right. Several sources of light pollution are also visible.To the left the Parana River.

 

The photo shows how high the central part of the Milky Way, our galactic center, can be in the winter as seen from the South Hemisphere. On July and August the brightest part of the Milky Way is almost overhead.
