Astronomy Picture Of The Day / Band Of Zodical Light

Explanation: Staring toward the heavens, one of the many lagunas in the Atacama Desert salt flat calmly reflects a starry night sky near San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, planet Earth.

Cosmic rifts of dust, star clouds, and nebulae of the central Milky Way galaxy are rising in the east, beyond a volcanic horizon. Caught in the six frame panorama serenely recorded in the early morning hours of January 15, planets Jupiter and Mars are close.

Near the ecliptic, the bright planets are immersed in the Solar System's visible band of Zodiacal light extending up and left from the galactic center.

Above the horizon to the south (right) are the Large and Small clouds of Magellan, satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.

The #photofeed tag is for original photography, please don't tag it on pictures that aren't yours! If you do it again you will be flagged. Thanks.

Noted and it was an accidental tag. I will be more careful in future. 98% of my blog is original images, however I do love this Nasa side project and like to share it with the community.

No worries! Definitely a very cool pic :)
