Impressive #photography of the #night #sky by Petr Horálek (#TWAN) from San Pedro de Atacama 🇨🇱 , taken over 180º (top: E ; bottom: W) with the #MilkyWay crossing the sky and a #Magellan cloud visible on the left.

In this #picture, we see scattering light near the horizons. It was actually taken in January 22, short after a major volcanic eruption of the #Tonga #volcano, almost 10 000km away. The volcanic #dust are illuminated by #sunlight, which give the paticular red tint at the bottom.

@AlexSanterne I miss the Licancabur. 😊
