VLT's complexity
An image of an often forgotten part of a telescope. While descriptions and images of telescopes typically focus on their mirrors or enclosures, this shows the incredible complexity and engineering needed to keep the telescope and its instruments operating correctly. Without these cords and hoses the telescope might point in the wrong direction or fail to record the observations correctly!
