These are among the best locations for astronomical observations in the southern hemisphere. [21] An ESO project is the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), a 40-metre-class telescope based on a five-mirror design and the formerly planned Overwhelmingly Large Telescope. The ELT will be the largest visible and near-infrared telescope in the world.
The VST dome among VLT's telescopes. It is located in the background between two of the VLT auxiliary telescopes (small round enclosures). The VST is an alt-azimuthal wide-field survey telescope with a primary mirror diameter of 2.65 meters that was constructed from 2007 to 2011 at the ESO Cerro Paranal Observatory, in Chile.
The VISTA (Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy) is a wide-field reflecting telescope with a 4.1 metre mirror, located at the Paranal Observatory in Chile.It is operated by the European Southern Observatory and started science operations in December 2009.
Composite image of the GOODS-South field, result of a deep survey using two of the four giant 8.2-metre telescopes composing ESO's Very Large Telescope Gamma-ray pulsars detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. An astronomical survey is a general map or image of a region of the sky (or of the whole sky) that lacks a specific ...
From an aerial view of the Paranal Observatory, the four large units of the VLT with their four small, dome-shaped auxiliary telescopes can be clearly seen. The Survey Telescope, VST, is immediately adjacent to the VLT and seen in between two of its units, while VISTA is located on a secondary peak, some 1,500 m away in the background (see image).
The pixel size was 25 ("First Generation", DSS1) or 15 micrometres ("Second Generation", DSS2), corresponding to 1.7 or 1.0 arcseconds in the source material. [16] The scanning resulted in images 14,000 x 14,000 (DSS1) or 23,040 x 23,040 pixels (DSS2) in size, [17] or approximately 0.4 (DSS1) and 1.1 gigabytes (DSS2) each. The scanning of First ...
The locations of three boats used in the Dunkirk evacuation in the Second World War have been uncovered for the first time by a detailed survey of 30 shipwrecks off the French coast.
The Uppsala–ESO Survey of Asteroids and Comets (UESAC) took place in 1992–1993. ... (12348) 1993 FX 40: 19 March 1993: list (12739) 1992 DY 7: 29 February 1992: list
