A comet across the zodiac
This striking image was originally captured as a 360 degree panorama, but it has been edited by a fisheye projection, giving it the distinctive fisheye lens appearance of a circular window, peering into a different world. Here the landscape at the La Silla observatory in Chile can be seen wrapped around the edge, whilst a comet fires across the Zodiac constellations.
