VLT at Paranal

The 8.2 metre VLT Unit Ttelescopes at Paranal Observatory use some of the strongest lasers ever created for a laser guide star system. The Laser Guide Star (LGS) is part of the VLT’s Adaptive Optics system. In the middle of the image, we see a nice edge side view of the Milky Way Galaxy.
