Aerial view of ESO Headquarters

In Garching bei München, nestled into the lush Bavarian landscape, are the ESO Headquarters and the ESO Supernova Planetarium and Visitor Centre, both of which are pictured in this incredible image from a ultralight plane.

The construction site of the ESO Supernova can be seen encircled by cranes. Below this site lies the sleek, curved ESO Headquarter buildings. The original ESO Headquarters building is situated to the right, with the new extension building to the left. The black, rounded building is the technical building, where work on new instruments is carried out.
