Engineers and maintenance staff pose for group photo underneath the structure supporting the primary 8.2-metre mirror of UT4 "Yepun" — one of four Unit Telescopes that comprise ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), situated at Paranal Observatory in northern Chile. The massive primary mirror was temporarily removed for cleaning.
