Panorama. Photos were done during a Uyuni stargazing tour. Elevation 3,650 m or 12,000 ft. The salt flat view even during a day is amazing, but at night it is fantastic.
With 10,582 km^2, more than 10 billion tons of salt and containing up to 70% of the world’s lithium reserves, Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat, a vast salt plain near the crest of the Andes in southwest Bolivia.
On the photo you can see Southern hemisphere sky, Crux constellation, Alpha and Beta Centauri, Milky Way, Galactic Center, red and green Airglow, Hexagonal formations of the salt flat.

Due to Covid cases declining in California, the state announced relaxation of its shutdown January 25!
