The magic of a pristine sky 馃ぉ

The Milky Way arches over our Very Large Telescope, set under a colourful sky. This so-called airglow is extremely faint and only noticeable in the darkest regions, such as the Atacama Desert in #Chile. So, preserving pristine skies not only enables cutting-edge research, but it also allows photographers to capture the magic of a perfectly dark night.

An observing site, with three large domes in the centre and the arching Milky Way above them. To the left is a long building, and to the right is a smaller dome. A fourth, larger dome is hidden on the right side. The horizon exhibits a faint coloured glow: green on the left and red on the right
