Drone image of the ELT dome construction

This image shows a large, metallic dome on top of a mountain, against the landscape of the Chilean desert at sunset. There are cranes and other construction equipment around. Near the base of the dome there's the tiny figure of a man in a reflective jacket.

This drone image from June 2024 shows progress in the construction of ESO's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) dome, located on Cerro Armazones in the Atacama Desert, Chile. Look closely behind the yellow crane - a man in a high-visibility jacket can be seen, giving a scale of just how enormous the ELT is!
