Hidden monster

La Silla poses for an Ultra HD shoot
The enclosure of the New Technology Telescope (NTT) aligns perfectly with the Milky Way’s central region. Today‘s telescopes cannot see the supermassive black hole hidden there, but future instruments may be able to capture its shadow.

The ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre is a cooperation between the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS). The building is a donation from the Klaus Tschira Stiftung (KTS), a German foundation, and ESO runs the facility.
