漫射的星光和银河南部的黑暗星云在地平线上呈弧形,并在这张美丽的夜景中斜向展开。这幅令人叹为观止的马赛克横跨100度,前景是阿根廷巴塔哥尼亚地区崎岖的地形。除了我们自己星系的内部视图外,这张图像还展示了我们对两个不规则卫星星系的外部视角——大麦哲伦星云和小麦哲伦星云。这张照片也捕捉到了麦克诺特彗星宽阔的尾巴和明亮的彗发,这颗彗星是2007年的大彗星。

Diffuse starlight and dark nebulae along the southern Milky Way arc over the horizon and sprawl diagonally through this gorgeous nightscape. The breath-taking mosaic spans a wide 100 degrees, with the rugged terrain of the Patagonia, Argentina region in the foreground. Along with the insider's view of our own galaxy, the image features our outside perspective on two irregular satellite galaxies - the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. The scene also captures the broad tail and bright coma of Comet McNaught, the Great Comet of 2007.
