Night sky at La Silla

ESO's La Silla Observatory is the home to ground breaking technology and research. To achieve such optimal observing conditions, the site is very isolated at the outskirts of the Chilean Atacama Desert.  This distinctive equirectangular panorama shows the La Silla site, with the stunning detail of the stars splashed across the sky.
