ESO’s facilities in Chile merged into an imaginary landscape
This collage shows ESO’s facilities in Chile merged into a single imaginary landscape. The forthcoming Extremely Large Telescope can be seen on the left, housing its giant 39-metre primary mirror; the 8.2-metre Unit Telescopes of ESO's Very Large Telescope are in the middle; and several of ALMA's 66 high precision antennas are on the right, along with antennas from the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array. A variety of other facilities from the La Silla and Paranal sites are scattered between these giants.
