This is a picture of a road in the dark Atacama Desert in Chile. It appears to lead to the glowing nebulae of the Milky Way. Ini reality, the road leads to Cerro Armazones peak in Chile, future construction site for the 40-meter class European Extremely Large Telescope. In the sky above the road, the Great Carina Nebula dominates the sky. It is one of our galaxies largest star formations. The sky is so clear because of the distance from any kind of light, therefore, there is very little light pollution.
