I found this picture of the Milky Way over the Andes. I think that it was taken in Chile.

Very nice place and picture.

 

 

Amazing picture!

I don't recognize where could it be though.

The Lagoon nebula. A stellar nursery located around 5 000 light-years away from earth. It's a cloud that makes baby stars.

The nebula can be visible with the naked eye (though it's much better with a telescope)

The sun in three different ultraviolet wavelengths (304 Å, 193 Å, 171 Å), that can't be seen with the naked eye. They allow to see spicules // coronal holes (quite big) // strands of plasma.

NGC 3603 is wonderful. HII regions are often sexy! 

She is 20 000 light-years away from us and she is a beauty.
