This is a 99 shot panorama of the Carina/Crux region of the Milky Way above Lake Clifton's thrombolites, the most ancient lifeforms on Earth. To the right of the image are the Magellanic Clouds, neighbouring galaxies which orbit our own once every 1500 million years.
The Carina Nebula is the petal shaped pink object near the top left corner. Below that is the oblong shaped dark nebula, CoalSack, and hanging off that to the left is the famous constellation, Crux, more commonly referred to as the Southern Cross.
