This Picture shows the Milky Way flowing over its future spectator, ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT).

Focussing back down on Earth, the ELT will scrutinise the pristine night sky above the Chilean Atacama Desert with unprecedented precision. It will help us learn more about the close environment of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. It will analyse the atmospheres of exoplanets, answer questions about the births and deaths of stars we yet cannot even begin to ask, and explore how galaxies form and evolve, among many other exciting questions. We eagerly await the mysteries of the cosmos the world’s biggest eye on the sky will unveil.
