View of the VLT, Very Large Telescope, consists of 4 main telescopes 8.2m in diameter. Located in the Atacama desert in northern Chile, at an altitude of 2,635 metres, it studies the sky in wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to infrared - This european observatory accomodates the Very Large Telescope (VLT) since 1998. Four 8.2m telescopes are used besides several other telescopes from 1.8m to 4m. The four giant telescopes are named ANTU, KUEYEN, MELIPAL and YEPUN.

Spiral galaxy NGC 1350 in the Furnace - Spiral galaxy NGC 1350 in Fornax - Located about 85 million years ago - light, this spiral galaxy extends over 130,000 years - light in the southern constellation of the Furnace. Image obtained on 26/01/2000 with the Kueyen telescope of the VLT in Chile. NGC 1350 is an Sa (r) type galaxy, meaning it is a spiral with large central regions. In fact, NGC 1350 lies at the border between the broken - ring spiral type and a grand design spiral with two major outer arms. It is about 130,000 light - years across and, hence, is slightly larger than our Milky Way. Colour - composite image based on data collected with the FORS2 instrument on the VLT on January 26, 2000

Barree spiral galaxy NGC 1559 and supernova - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 1559 with a supernova - The galaxy NGC 1559 is a galaxy of Seyfert located about 50 million years ago - light in the constellation Reticule. In this image obtained in 2005 by the Kueyen European telescope of the VLT in Chile, a bright star is visible just above the galaxy, a supernova of type Ia named SN 2005df. On the night of August 4, 2005, an amateur astronomer and supernovae discoverer Reverend Robert Evans discovered a supernova just North of this galaxy. This supernova is classified as a somewhat unusual type Ia supernova, caught probably 10 days before it reached its maximum brightness. Such a supernova is thought to be the result of the explosion of a small and dense star - a white dwarf - inside a binary system. As its companion was continuously spilling matter onto the white dwarf, the white dwarf reached a critical mass, leading to a fatal instability. NGC 1559 is a SBc (s) - type spiral galaxy located a

Centaurus A elliptical galaxy (NGC 5128) in the Centaurus - Galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) - The galaxy NGC 5128 is located about 13 million years away from Earth. This Giant Galaxy is a powerful radio source known as Centaurus A. It is an active galaxy whose energy comes from a supermassive black hole. This image obtained by the Kueyen telescope of the VLT in Chile on 1 February 2000 shows the star flames that occur in the dark band of the galaxy. Centaurus A is one of the foremost examples of a radio - loud active galactic nucleus (AGN). On images obtained at optical wavelengths, thick dust layers almost completely obscure the galaxy's centre. Until 1949, NGC 5128 was thought to be a strange object in the Milky Way, but it was then identified as a powerful radio galaxy and designated Centaurus A. The distance is about 10 - 13 million light - years (3 - 4 Mpc) and the apparent visual magnitude is about 8, or 5 times too faint to be seen with the unaided eye. There is strong evidence th

Centaurus A elliptical galaxy (NGC 5128) in the Centaurus - Galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) - The galaxy NGC 5128 is located about 13 million years away from Earth. This Giant Galaxy is a powerful radio source known as Centaurus A. It is an active galaxy whose energy comes from a supermassive black hole. This image obtained by the Kueyen telescope of the VLT in Chile on 1 February 2000 shows the star flames that occur in the dark band of the galaxy. Centaurus A is one of the foremost examples of a radio - loud active galactic nucleus (AGN). On images obtained at optical wavelengths, thick dust layers almost completely obscure the galaxy's centre. Until 1949, NGC 5128 was thought to be a strange object in the Milky Way, but it was then identified as a powerful radio galaxy and designated Centaurus A. The distance is about 10 - 13 million light - years (3 - 4 Mpc) and the apparent visual magnitude is about 8, or 5 times too faint to be seen with the unaided eye. There is strong evidence th

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

Detail of the horse's head nebula by the VLT - Horsehead Nebula, which is situated in the Orion molecular cloud complex. Its official name is Barnard 33 and it is a dust protrusion in the southern region of the dense dust cloud Lynds 1630, on the edge of the HII region IC 434. The distance to the region is about 1400 light - years (430 pc). This beautiful colour image was produced from three images obtained with the multi - mode FORS2 instrument at the second VLT Unit Telescope (KUEYEN) on February 1, 2000. Three predominant colours are seen in the image: red from the hydrogen (H - alpha) emission from the HII region; brown for the foreground obscuring dust; and blue - green for scattered starlight. The blue - green regions of the Horsehead Nebula correspond to regions not shadowed from the light from the stars in the H II region to the top of the picture and scatter stellar radiation towards the observer; these are thus 'mountains' of dust
