Description:

Beneath the crystal-clear skies of the Atacama, the Milky Way rises alongside the Magellanic Clouds, two nearby satellite galaxies of our own. A starry umbrella in the foreground, inspired by Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, blends painted imagination with real starlight. The scene reflects how both art and astronomy seek to interpret and celebrate the same night sky. BEST DETAILS
