Because I think it might be the most amazing thing I'd ever be permitted to see. Mount Paranal, in the Atacama Desert, Chile. So cool. I'm going here if I ever get the money. Or, you know, want to perform seppuku. Which, incidentally, looks like this.
Both are candid shots from outside the Paranal Observatory. It's one of the driest places on Earth, with some of the least atmospheric, radio and light pollution.
The best shot I found is a 360 degree panorama, but the file was too big to upload here. Because it's a panorama, imagine that the Milky Way stretches out almost straight over your head, instead of curling like that.
