Shooting at the stars
Almost like in a science fiction movie, this clip shows the rotating Unit Telescopes of the VLT with UT-4 activating its bright orange laser guide star now and then. This laser creates an artificial star, which helps astronomers to measure and remove the turbulences in the atmosphere.
