Caption: The night sky with the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds (Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) closer to the horizon and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) farther from the horizon) which are small irregular galaxies in orbit around the Milky Way.

The image is from the site of Very Large Telescope (VLT), Paranal Observatory on Cerro Paranal in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile.

The image may be high-sensitivity since yours truly suspects the Milky Way with its dust lanes may NOT look this bright to the naked eye.
