With new high-tech telescopes hard at work on Mauna Kea in Hawaii and Cerro Paranal in Chile and with NASA continuing its barrage of planetary probes, space photos are becoming as common as postcards.
48.
Suitable locations on Earth include Mauna Kea Observatory at 4205 meters above sea level, the Paranal Observatory at 2635 meters in Chile and regions of high altitude ice-desert such as Dome C in Antarctic.
49.
This technology, developed by ESO, known as active optics, is now applied to all major modern telescopes, such as the Very Large Telescope at Cerro Paranal and the future European Extremely Large Telescope.
50.
The "'VLT Survey Telescope "'( "'VST "') is the latest telescope to be added to ESO s Paranal Observatory in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile.
