The NTT’s unique dome

The sharp-edged dome of ESO’s New Technology Telescope (NTT) at La Silla Observatory, Chile, is a contrast from the typical spherical enclosures of most telescopes. The NTT’s dome is relatively small and has a unique ventilation system that ensures smooth airflow around the telescope’s mirrors, allowing the NTT to capture sharp images.
