A Crowning achievement High in the Andes...Kueyen ( The Moon ) seeks Light from Afar..One of 4 great scopes........ Built by the Europeans ...Fresh in service this year... Notice the blue helmeted man...bottom rt about 1 inch from the edge :) eso.org Ultimately, the light from the three other 8.2 meter unit telescopes (Antu ( Sun), Kueyen (Moon), and Melipal ( Southern Cross)) will be combined with Yepun's to achieve an effective aperture of 16.4 meters -- creating the world's largest optical telescope. But the next major step will be to combine beams from two of the telescopes creating an interferometer. The upper part of the mostly subterranean interferometer lab is the building in front of the telescope enclosure. The VLT unit telescope names have been taken from the Mapuche language. Originally thought to refer to the bright star Sirius, the word Yepun is now believed by linguists to mean Venus or evening star.
