APOD 4.1


This picture was taken at dawn from the European Southern Observatory's Paranal Observatory on March 27th. The Milky Way's central bulge is shown with Paranal's four 8 meter Very Large Telescope units. Along with the Milky Way galaxy, you can see Venus and the bright morning star. I think this picture is interesting because it shows the massive Milky Way galaxy all in one picture, and shows hoe magnificant it is.
