Next stop, Paranal

The first 18 main mirror segments of ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) have now safely travelled from Europe to South America, covering more than 10 000 km. Once the ship arrived in Chile, they had a short journey via road from the Antofagasta Terminal International port to ESO’s Paranal Observatory.
