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.
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 ...
[10] [11] [12] Red band sources for the southern sky include the short red (SR) plates of the SERC I/SR Survey and Atlas of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds (referred to as AAO-SR in DSS2), [13] the Equatorial Red (SERC-ER), [5] and the F-band Second Epoch Survey (referred to as AAO-SES in DSS2, AAO-R in the original literature), [14] all ...
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.
Map showing the location of NGC 3766. NGC 3766 (also known as Caldwell 97) is an open star cluster in the southern constellation Centaurus.It is located in the vast star-forming region known as the Carina molecular cloud, and was discovered by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille during his astrometric survey in 1751–1752.

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).
Cerro Murphy Observatory (Spanish: Observatorio Cerro Murphy, OCM; Polish: Obserwatorium Cerro Murphy, OCM; German: Observatorium Cerro Murphy, OCM; full name since 2023 is Rolf Chini Cerro Murphy Observatory) is an international astrophysical project hosted by the ESO Paranal Observatory and operated by the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
The Hamburg/ESO Survey is an astrometric star catalogue published by the University of Hamburg. The catalog contains stars between magnitudes 13 and 18 covering the Southern extragalactic sky. The stated goals of the catalog [ 1 ] are
