Clearest sky of the world

Well, today's assignament consists of writing about one's favourite picture, but I don't really have  specific favourite picture. I do however have lots of favourites picture, all of the different in content and reasons to like, so I will upload one of them which is quite beautiful for me. This is a picture of the Milky Way, taken here in Chile in 2010 near Paranal Observatory, being this one of the most beautiful pictures of our galaxy.

To be honest, I don't have idea who took this picture, though I have to say he or she made a remarkable job by doing so =) This view is simply amazing, and we Chileans should consider ourselves lucky for having such view from our skies. Actually, Chile has the clearest skies of the world, making our country the most apropiate for the study of our universe.

I really like this picture not only for its beauty but also 'cause I'm really apasionated about anything related to the space =) I think if I have the chance of becoming an astronaut or anything like that, I would take it without hesitate. Anyway, another reason I like this picture is because I'm damn proud of our country for having such marvels as views like this one =)
