COSMIC MESSAGE

Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, rises over the Atacama Desert in Chile. This high-altitude desert, 4,500 meters up, has a stark beauty that can feel alien. The stratovolcano Lastarria is visible in the distance, near the border with Argentina. This image reminds us of Earth's unique place in the cosmos.
