I took this pic quite a few years ago at ESO's Paranal Observatory in #Chile. It shows the #MilkyWay arching over the entrance to the Residencia, the site's partially underground lodging and my home in the Atacama Desert for many hundreds of nights!
Right at the centre there's the Coalsack Nebula, known to the Mapuche people of south-central Chile as pozoko (water well) and to the Incas as yutu (a bird similar to a partridge).
