The Milky Way galaxy

Panorama - The Milky Way arch emerging from the Cerro Paranal on the left, and sinking into the Antofagasta's night lights. The bright object in the centre, above the Milky Way is Jupiter, somehow elongated due to the panoramic projection. The Magellanic Clouds are visible on the left side, and a plane has left a visible trace on the right, along the Vista enclosure.
