Photo of the Week

This week for Photo of the Week, we would like to feature a jaw-dropping photo of the Milky Way. Taken in the Chilean Atacama desert by photographer Luis Calçada, this 20 second exposure demonstrates the effects of taking photos in locations unaffected by light pollution. With over 80 percent of the world's population living under skyglow, the sights of the Milky Way are quickly becoming sights only restricted to LED screens.

For more fantastic photos, be sure to check out Calçada's Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/muitosabao/
