      Explanation: With this creative astro-collaboration you can follow the   
      plane of our Milky Way Galaxy as it bridges northern and southern   
      hemisphere skies. To construct the expansive composite nightscape,   
      skies over Observatorio El Sauce in Chile (top) were imaged on the same   
      date but 6 hours later than the skies over the Saint-Veran observatory   
      in the French Alps. The 6 hour time-lag allowed Earth's rotation to   
      align the Milky Way above domes at the two sites. All exposures were   
      made with similar cameras and lenses mounted on simple tripods. A faint   
      greenish airglow is visible in the dark Chilean sky that also features   
      the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds near the observatory dome. In the   
      French Alps light pollution is apparent, but the distant Andromeda   
      Galaxy can still be spotted near the horizon in the northern night. On   
      planet Earth the two observatories are separated by about 10,000   
      kilometers.
