3. 6 metre telescope at La Silla Observatory, Chile
La Silla 3.6-metre telescope. View of the 3.6- metre telescope at the European Southern Observa- tory (ESO) site at La Silla, Chile. A technician at the base of the telescope is charging its Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) camera with liquid gas. The liquid gas cools the CCD and improves its sensitivity to incoming light. The 3.6-metre telescope is the largest optical device at La Silla. Photographed in 1997

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive 3.6-metre telescope at La Silla Observatory in Chile, a site operated by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). The image offers a remarkable view of this colossal optical device, which stands as the largest of its kind at La Silla. Taken in 1997, it provides a glimpse into the cutting-edge technology and meticulous processes involved in astrophysics research. At the base of the telescope, we see a technician engrossed in an essential task - charging its Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) camera with liquid gas. This intricate procedure involves cooling down the CCD using liquid gas to enhance its sensitivity to incoming light. By doing so, scientists can capture clearer and more precise images of celestial objects. The photograph not only highlights technological advancements but also emphasizes human involvement in scientific exploration. The presence of the technician reminds us that behind every groundbreaking discovery lies dedicated individuals working tirelessly to unravel mysteries beyond our planet. This awe-inspiring image serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding about our vast universe. It encapsulates both the grandeur of astronomical instruments like this 3.6-metre telescope and our unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries in astrophysical research.
