SPECULOOS shortly after installation

One of the four domes of the SPECULOOS telescopes at ESO's Paranal Observatory. This image was taken shortly after its installation in November 2016, with the VLT is visible in the background. The SPECULOOS Southern Observatory comprises four robotic telescopes of Ritchey-Chrétien design, each with a one metre primary mirror and cameras that are highly sensitive in the near-infrared, which is the primary emission from ultracool stars and brown dwarfs. SPECULOOS is designed to detect terrestrial exoplanets around such stars.
