File:A 360 degree panorama of a unique cloudscape over La Silla.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:A 360 degree panorama of a unique cloudscape over La Silla.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on February 9, 2018. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2018-02-09. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:23, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

La Silla Observatory is an astronomical observatory in Chile, some 150 kilometres (93 mi) northeast of La Serena. On this site, at the outskirts of the Atacama Desert, are three telescopes built and operated by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) as well as several other telescopes partly maintained by ESO. The observatory is one of the largest in the southern hemisphere and the first in Chile to be used by ESO.Photograph: ESO/F. Kamphues
