In-Depth Review of Tierra Atacama in Chile - AFAR

"A 20-minute drive into the desert brought me to this partner observatory, where powerful telescopes revealed globular clusters and nebulae invisible to the naked eye and the experience was enriched by Indigenous sky lore: guides explained the Andean practice of seeing shapes in the dark voids between stars (yana phuyu), and I remember the playful suggestion that it sometimes takes “a lot of imagination and a glass of whiskey” to perceive figures like a llama in the darkness." - Nicholas DeRenzo
