Very Large Telescope. Panoramic view of three of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) telescope enclosures at the Paranal Observatory on summit of Cerro Paranal (Paranal Mountain) in the Atacama Desert,Chile. The VLT comprises four 8.2-metre mirror telescopes (Antu,Kueyen,Melipal and Yepun) located at an altitude of 2600 metres on Cerro Paranal in the Atacama desert. They provide images which are combined by interferometry. This gives an image equivalent to that obtained by a 16-metre diameter mirror,making the VLT one of the most powerful telescopes in the world | |
