The top part shows the immense Very Large Telescope (VLT), comprising four 8.2-metre Unit Telescopes and four smaller Auxiliary Telescopes, is situated at the ESO Paranal site in the Chilean Atacama desert. Also visible are the La Silla Observatory and the ALMA array in the Chajnantor plateau in Chile.
