Record Description
Because of its high altitude, dry air, and clear skies, Chile's Atacama Desert hosts a large share of the world's major astronomical observatories, including the ALMA array and the future Extremely Large Telescope. Astronomers consider it one of the best places on Earth to observe the night sky.
