      Explanation: Pictured -- a very scenic road to the stars. The road   
      approaches La Silla Observatory in Chile, with the ESO's 3.6-meter   
      telescope just up ahead. To the left are some futuristic-looking   
      support structures for the planned BlackGEM telescopes, an array of   
      optical telescopes that will help locate optical counterparts to   
      gravitational waves detections by LIGO and other detectors. But there   
      is much more. Red airglow illuminates the night sky on the right, while   
      the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy slants across the image   
      center. Jupiter can be seen just above the band near the image center,   
      while Saturn is visible just above the 3.6-meter telescope dome. The   
      two largest satellite galaxies of our Milky Way Galaxy, the LMC and   
      SMC, are seen on the far right. The featured image panorama was built   
      up from multiple 15-second exposures that were captured on 2019 June   
      30. Two days later, La Silla experienced a rare total eclipse of the   
      Sun.
