To get this photo, shot in August 2010, Stéphane Guisard of the European Southern Observatory set up three cameras to take continuous time-lapse images from the platform of the Very Large Telescope in northern Chile. This photo was one of 8,000 individual shots taken the nights of Aug. 12-13 and 13-14. (Photo by Stéphane Guisard/European Southern Observatory)
