ESPRESSO spectrograph First Light data. False-coloured image of the spectral data from the first image of a star taken by the ESPRESSO instrument on the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory, Chile. Here, the light from a star has been dispersed into its component colours and the image has been colourised to indicate how the wavelengths change across the image. These are not exactly the colours that would be seen visually. Many dark spectral lines in the stellar spectra and regular double spots from a calibration light source can be seen. The dark gaps are features of how the data is taken and are not real. | |
