Stunning views of the Milky Way are visible in the Valley of the Moon in the Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth near San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. This place is renowned for its incredible clarity and lack of rainfall, with some areas not receiving a single drop for hundreds of years. It is believed to be the oldest desert in the world, with arid conditions persisting for over four million years. The Atacama is also home to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array telescope, making it an ideal observation spot. The out-of-this-world landscape has earned the region its name, giving the Valley of the Moon a lunar and even Mars-like appearance.
