Moonlit night at CTIO observatory site. Time-exposure footage at night of the main site of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) at Cerro Tololo in northern Chile. Moonlight bathes the landscape, while star trails appear overhead and trails of traffic lights appear on the roads. In the background, fog and clouds are seen in mountain valleys, with the Pacific in the far distance. The CTIO sites are operated by the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO). The Cerro Tololo site is at an altitude of 2207 metres. This footage was filmed in April 2016, from the secondary CTIO site at Cerro Pachon (2715 metres). | |
