Full view of Atacama at Night
The Chilean night sky revealed in this fish-eye (fulldome) view from the Atacama Desert. The Milky Way can be seen to arc across the sky. The Atacama sky is enhanced by a orange/yellow aurora-like shimmer, called airglow, which is caused by light-emitting chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Normally, those emissions are not so strong, but the night this image was taken they were particularly bright, producing this unusual picture.
