Milky Way arcs the Chilean Atacama sky

The Milky Way can be seen to arc above the Chilean Atacama night Sky in this crisp, clear ultra HD fulldome view taken with a fish-eye lens. Above the immediate horizon, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two companion galaxies to our Milky Way can be seen as bright smudges in the sky.
