A Day in the life of ESO: live link to Paranal

This segment of the live webcast "A Day in the Life of ESO" shows the live link to the Paranal mountaintop, site of the Very Large Telescope, and the results of the previous live observations.

The webcast aired on the exact date of ESO’s 50th Anniversary, 5th October 2012, and lasted for 6 hours. It included talks from astronomers and engineers from ESO’s headquarters in Garching, Germany, as well as a live link to Paranal, Chile, where Brigitte Bailleul, winner of the “Tweet your way to the VLT” competition, was preparing to be the first member of the general public to make an observation using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT).
