       Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our

       A rocky landscape is capped by a dark night sky. In the sky, the band   
       of our Milky Way Galaxy runs along the right, while two fuzzy patches   
       that are the LMC and SMC are visible on the right. Thousands of stars   
       are resolved all over the frame. Please see the explanation for more   
                               detailed information.

      Explanation: Diffuse starlight and dark nebulae along the southern   
      Milky Way arc over the horizon and sprawl diagonally through this   
      gorgeous nightscape. The breath-taking mosaic spans a wide 100 degrees,   
      with the rugged terrain of the Patagonia, Argentina region in the   
      foreground. Along with the insider's view of our own galaxy, the image   
      features our outside perspective on two irregular satellite galaxies -   
      the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. The scene also captures the   
      broad tail and bright coma of Comet McNaught, the Great Comet of 2007.
