Elliptical Elegance
ESO’s VLT Survey Telescope has captured a glittering host of galaxies...
...allowing astronomers to uncover the most delicate details of galactic structure.
The VLT Survey Telescope is the largest visible-light survey telescope in the World...
…and is perfect for understanding how the huge variety of galaxies come into being.
Features such as tidal tails and stellar streams are hallmarks of galactic collisions...
...and their studies provide vital clues to the structure and evolution of galaxies, such as the ellipticals studied in this survey.
