It must have been a major battle between high altitude winds blowing in different directions-

On the right you will find the Magellan Clouds. The Small Magellan Cloud on the top and the Large Magellan Cloud below.

These "clouds" are actually small irregular galaxies orbiting around the Milky Way each cloud contains millions and millions of stars.

They can be seen with the naked eye from a dark location from the South Hemisphere.

If you look carefully you will see the great globular Cluster 47 Tucanae just next to the small Magellan Cloud and you will see a bright spot on the lower right of the Big Magellan Cloud, that's the Tarantula nebula a star nursery.

The little domes of light at the horizon are produced by light pollution from distant towns.

The Small and Large Magellan clouds above the cliffs. Notice the bright tarantula nebula inside the large magellan cloud and the globular cluster 47 Tucanae just next to the small magellan cloud. These are visible to the naked eye from rural locations and circumpular in most of southern Argentina where the photo was taken.
