GRAVITY instrument

A large grey object sits in a lab setting. On its surface are many pictures whose detail cannot be discerned, and one with the label GRAVITY. Three grey hoses come out from below it, beside many other dials and covers. To its left and right are large black objects, and behind it on the wall are many horizontal pipes.

GRAVITY is a second generation instrument used on the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at ESO's Paranal Observatory. The instrument saw first light in 2015.
