VLT (Very Large Telescope)

The Very Large Telescope (VLT) is one of the world's most advanced observatories located in Chile's Atacama Desert. It consists of four massive telescopes with 8.2-meter mirrors, which can work together or separately to study the universe. The VLT observes celestial objects like stars, planets, and galaxies with incredible detail, helping scientists understand the cosmos better. Its powerful instruments can detect faint light from distant objects, providing insights into the origins and nature of the universe. The VLT’s location and technology make it a vital tool for astronomical research and discovery.
