That much closer

With light pollution and cloud cover rarely issues at ESO's Paranal Observatory, the Universe can seem closer than ever. Here, one of ESO's Photo AmbassadorsPetr Horálek, gets a better view on the Very Large Telescope, nearer the heavens.

Images like this were gathered on the Fulldome Expedition, an endeavour to produce visuals for the ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre in Garching, Munich.
