Summary[edit]

Description
English: This sweeping panorama was captured under tough conditions. ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) is one of the most advanced observatories in the world, gathering astronomical data of unsurpassable clarity from Cerro Paranal, an isolated site atop a lonely mountain in the Chilean Atacama Desert. This far-flung corner of the globe has many benefits; it offers some of the driest and clearest observing conditions on Earth — some of the weather stations in the Atacama Desert have never recorded rainfall! — and a total lack of light pollution. Paranal’s stargazers can see a sky full of stars even before sunset, while the sinking Sun illuminates ground frost and casts an ethereal and irreplicable glow across the entire observatory.
