A newly released image shows a colorful haze glowing above the Paranal Observatory in the Chilean Atacama Desert at sunset.
The European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) stands beneath a star-studded sky illuminated by a phenomenon known as zodiacal light, which is observed as a faint glow of diffuse light in the sky scattered by interplanetary dust. The glow, in this case, is caused by sunlight reflecting off dust particles in the evening sky.
