Astronomical observatory in Chile
Paranal Observatory was built in the Atacama Desert region, north of Chile, as one of the bases for astronomy research purposes.
Paranal is an astronomical observatory built on the Cerro Paranal mountain range in the Atacama desert region.Paranal is located at a height of 2,600m, 20km from the cities of Antofagasta to the south and Talta 80km to the north.
Located 3,000 meters above sea level, away from the city's electric lights and having over 350 cloudless days a year, the Atacama Desert is considered an ideal place to build astronomical research facilities. ground.
Very large telescope (VLT) is a combination of four optical telescopes arranged in a defined configuration developed and operated by the European Space Research Organization in the southern hemisphere (ESO).
4 telescopes can be combined to form a unified device.This is a place to observe light and infrared.

In addition to the telescope system, the construction site of the observatory also has operating areas, maintenance facilities and hotels that are partly underground.This section is about 3km away from the telescope area.
ESO has three astronomical observatories in Chile, including Paranal, La Silla and the huge telescope telescope.
Chile recently prepared to build the world's largest telescope called E-ELT.It will be built on top of Mount Armazones, in the Atacama Desert.
