Sunset over Cerro Armazones, seen from Cerro Paranal. Both these mountains are in the Atacama Desert of Chile, and are the sites for current and planned astronomical observatories operated by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). Here, Cerro Armazones (lower centre, 3046 metres) is illuminated by the sunset glow, with the projected shadow of Cerro Paranal (2635 metres) in the foreground. Cerro Paranal is the site of the Very Large Telescope (VLT). Cerro Armazones will be the baseline site for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). Photographed on 16 October 2015. | |
