Summary[edit]

Description

This photograph, taken by Vincenzo Forchi, provides a unique insight into one of ESO’s most famous — and hard-working — residents. This cacophony of colour, structure and machinery is the interior of the 8.2-metre Unit Telescope 1 (UT1) of ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), at Paranal Observatory in northern Chile. UT1 is more charmingly named Antu, which means The Sun in the region’s indigenous Mapuche language. The other UTs are named after the Moon, the Southern Cross, and Venus — Kueyen, Melipal, and Yepun respectively.
