Image title
Laser shooting at the Paranal Observatory - The VLT Laser Guide Star - View from the LGS (Laser Guide Star), a laser beam launches from the Yepun (UT4) telescope of the VLT. This laser creates an artificial star in the high atmosphere at about 90 km altitude. This repere is analysed and each variation of turbulence in the atmosphere is detected and corrected by the adaptive optics of the telescope. On the left, the two galaxies of the Magellan Cloud, on the right, the dome of the VST (VLT Survey Telescope). A 50 cm wide yellow laser beam is coming out of Yepun, (UT4) of the Very Large Telescope. It is used to create a yellow artificial star at 95 km of altitude which helps the adaptive optics to measure and correct the atmosphere's blurring effect. On the left, the two Magellanic Clouds, on the right, the VST dome
