Magellanic Clouds above the Danish 1.54-metre telescope
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds float overhead the Danish 1.54-metre telescope in this long-exposure image from the La Silla Observatory in Chile. A duo of irregular dwarf galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds are easily visible from the southern hemisphere.
Rich in stars and interstellar gas and dust, the plane of the Milky Way glitters as it extends from behind the telescope.
