As the Milky Way band appears to pour into our Extremely Large Telescope in #Chile, the cranes around it seem to do the same while they further advance the telescope.

Once complete, the ELT will be breaking down the light above in unparalleled detail with its huge 39 m mirror.

The image shows the open metallic dome of the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) at the centre of the picture taking up the lower half of the frame. At the top, like a river the Milky Way band horizontally pours into the ELT. The construction site of the ELT is surrounded by cranes, while the Milky Way lights up the sky in various colours. One patch of the Milky Way shines the brightest, the centre of the galaxy.
