Laser strike from Yepun


To the left, the Yepun telescope (UT4) of the Paranal observatory, during a laser strike related with the adaptive optics system; to the right, one of the Auxiliary Telescopes (AT) intended for interferometry operations. In the background is visible the center of the Milky Way, and toward the horizon, a faint shine coming from the rising Moon.
