Explanation:
Staring toward
the heavens, one of the many lagunas in
the Atacama Desert salt flat calmly reflects a starry night sky
near San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, planet Earth.
Cosmic rifts of dust, star clouds, and nebulae of the central
Milky Way galaxy are rising in the east, beyond a volcanic horizon.
Caught in the six frame
panorama serenely recorded
in the early morning hours of January 15,
planets Jupiter and Mars are close.
Near the ecliptic,
the bright planets are immersed in the
Solar System's visible band of Zodiacal light extending up
and left from the galactic center.
Above the horizon to the south (right)
are the Large and Small
clouds of Magellan, satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.
