VLT at dusk II

The Very Large Telescope (VLT) is located at Paranal Observatory in the remote Atacama Desert of northern Chile. In the center of the image is a wonderful front row view to one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy. The VLT is one of the most advanced ground-based telescopes on Earth and was the first telescope to directly image an exoplanet.
