Enjoy amazing dark southern night sky from Chile. The brightest part of the image is core of our Galaxy – Milky Way – surrounded by bright stars and filled with Hydrogen nebulas. In top left corner, there is a faint part of zodiacal light called gegenschein or counter glow. On top right – two bright stars Rigil and Hadar from Centaurus constellation.
