Paranal Observatory, Chile: The Very Large Telescope (VLT) and its auxiliary telescopes seen on August...

IMAGE number

Image title
Paranal Observatory, Chile: The Very Large Telescope (VLT) and its auxiliary telescopes seen on August 9, 2014. In the sky the galaxy of Andromede is visible. The four 8m telescopes telescopes, named Antu (Sun), Kueyen (Moon), Melipal (Southern Cross), and Yepun (Venus) form a very versatile observatory. They can be used as a single large telescope that adds (incoherently) the light from all four, in order to achieve the light gathering ability of a single 16m telescope. Also, their light can be combined in a coherent manner in order to achieve a solving power equivalent to the one of a telescope with a diameter as large as the baseline between the units. Of course, all the telescopes can be used individually, which is usually the default mode of operation
