Paranal Moonset

COSMIC MESSAGE

The full October Moon sets over Cerro Paranal in Chile, silhouetting the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope array. The four main enclosures of the 8.2-meter telescopes, Antu, Kueyen, Yepun, and Melipal, are visible from left to right. This telephoto shot captures the moment just before sunrise illuminates the mountain peak.
