Stunning Time Lapse Photography

Taken of the Skies over 

The Atacama Desert

The Paranal Observatory uses a combination of huge telescopes to achieve this, and it is quite simply BRILLIANT.

The laser is used as a calibration device to allow for curvature of the Earth’s atmosphere and produce higher resolution images.

Amazing  Time Lapse of  Chilean Sky
in Ultra High Definition 

In the Spring of 2014, a team of ESO Photo ambassadors embarked on a pioneering expedition to ESO's three observatories in Chile. Their mission was to capture a wide range of images and timelapses of the magnificent Chilean night sky and landscape in crisp Ultra High Definition. Join our heroes in their adventures in the arid Atacama Desert as they bring our Universe closer than ever before.
