MILKY WAY, LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD (LMC) AND THE AIRGLOW EFFECT IN THE SKY OF THE ATACAMA DESERT

di Fernando Oliveira de menezes inserita il 10 Agosto 2023

Here in this image of a rare moment, with temperatures reaching 0ºC, I came across this unique moment, a scene that will remain with me for the rest of my life.

Here we have, on the land part, me and a dirt road.

In the sky, this greenish effect called AIRGLOW (an effect of chemiluminescence, where the energy of the daytime sun, causes divisions in the queues containing oxygen, which recombine at night, giving this appearance). Furthermore, in the region above my head, we see the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy) and further up the arm of our Milky Way galaxy.
