Geminids meteor shower - a view from Atacama desert :) On the night Dec 13/14 we were very lucky to witness an amazing celestial event ! The "stars were falling from the sky" and it was a remarkable sight. I took this image at Carnegie Las Campanas observatory located in the south of Atacama desert in Chile. You can see numerous meteors as well as the Milky Way. One can easily recognize Orion constellation (although, for those who are in the Northern hemisphere it looks upside down). The telescopes on the foreground are the 6.5-m Magellans (Baade and Clay). I hope you'll enjoy the view ! :)
