      Despite being the driest place in the world, the  Atacama Desert has   
      several lagoons, created by  groundwater, in the vicinity of the   
       Atacama Salt Flats. When night falls and with no wind, the lagoons   
      become  true mirrors for astronomical observation. Shown over the   
      un-named pond featured here is the  Sagittarius Arm of the Milky   
      Way. Photo taken on September 23, 2022.   
      
      Approximately 25 miles (40 km) west of Toconao, Chile   
      Coordinates: -23.18889, -68.51944
