  2. LOTS GOING ON
    From Observatorio El Sauce
    in Chile in October, the Milky
    Way was joined by airglow
    (the orange-yellow to the left)
    and the zodiacal light (the
    bright triangle of light at lower
    right). The Large and Small
    Magellanic Clouds were also
    prominent. • Matt Dieterich
