MEETING OF THE HEMISPHERES

This incredible image shows the entire observable sky from our planet Earth
The result was achieved by digitally merging 2 different images
from 2 different observers placed at the same latitude above and below the equator.

The upper half is from the Roque de los Muchachos observatory
of the Instituto de Astrophísica de Canarias in La Palma (Canary Islands),
29 degrees north of the equator,
while the lower half was taken at the Chilean observatory
of La Silla (from) Atacama Serum), 29 degrees south of the equator.

By combining the two shots, you can see the whole sky observable from our planet.

Good evening, friends of the Cosmos!
