Summary

Description
English: Gaze up at the night sky from ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile, and you will be greeted with a stunning view like this one. Flecks of blue, orange, red; each a different star, galaxy, nebula, or more, together forming a sparkling sky overhead. Astronomers peer at this beautiful backdrop, trying to unravel the mysteries of the Universe. To do this, they use telescopes like the ones shown here, the VLT Auxiliary Telescopes. This image shows three of the four moveable units that feed light into the Very Large Telescope Interferometer, the world's most advanced optical instrument. Combining to form one larger telescope, they are greater than the sum of their parts: they reveal details that would be visible with a telescope as large as the distance between them.
Русский: Взгляните вверх на ночное небо над обсерваторией ESO Паранал в Чили, и вы увидите такой же великолепный вид, как на этом фото. Голубые, оранжевые, красные блестки звезд, галактик, туманностей заполняют весь сверкающий небосвод. На них направлены и установленные в обсерватории телескопы, например, видимые на снимке Вспомогательные телескопы VLT (VLT Auxiliary Telescopes). На фото – три из четырех этих подвижных инструментов, которые направляют собираемые ими световые потоки в Очень Большой Телескоп-Интерферометр, один из самых совершенных оптических инструментов в мире. Работая в сочетании друг с другом как один гигантский телескоп, в котором целое оказывается больше суммы своих частей, они позволяют различать детали, доступные только телескопу с диаметром зеркала, равному расстоянию между отдельными составными телескопами интерферометра.
