It is a look into the distant past: the light that travels to us from the center of the Milky Way arrives here with a delay of 28,000 years. The photons, which we can only see thanks to technical aids, made their way when the Earth was still in the Stone Age and America was perhaps not yet inhabited by humans. Today there is a telescope in South America – more precisely in the Atacama Desert – that provides us with the most accurate image to date of this astronomical region.
