That much closer
With light pollution and cloud cover rarely issues at ESO's Paranal Observatory, the Universe can seem closer than ever. Here, one of ESO's Photo Ambassadors, Petr Horálek, gets a better view on the Very Large Telescope, nearer the heavens.
Images like this were gathered on the Fulldome Expedition, an endeavour to produce visuals for the ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre in Garching, Munich.
