Night lights

Though the Sun set hours ago, the night sky above ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile remains full of light. The eerie green radiance of natural airglow rises from the horizon to meet the bright blobs of the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, all beneath the wide arch of our Milky Way.

One of the Very Large Telescope's Auxiliary Telescopes can hardly find the time to observe it all.
