Astronomer Yuri Beletsky enjoys the outstanding dark starry sky of the Atacama Desert from the Cerro Paranal Observatory in Chile. Stars of prominent constellations Orion, Canis Major, and Taurus appear abiove the Observatory. Jupiter is the brightest object in the view and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are on the right towards the south. Both red and green airglow (natural emission of the Earth upper atmosphere) appear near the horizon. With its dark, steady, and transparent sky, Paranal is home to some of the world's leading telescopes. Operated by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) the Very Large Telescope (VLT) is located on Paranal, composed of four 8-meter telescopes and smaller auxiliary telescopes, each 1.8 m in aperture, which are important elements of the VLT interferometer.
