    Summary

    Description
    Русский: На этом призрачном фото, снятом ночью на обсерватории Паранал, видны три из четырех Вспомогательных телескопов VLT (Auxiliary Telescopes). Эти 1.8-метровые телескопы работают в составе VLT-интерферометра как единый инструмент. Позади них, в качестве фона – тихое великолепие неба Атакамской пустыни, которое выглядит еще красивее из-за красноватого свечения, напоминающего северное сияние. Это свечение вызвано определенными химическими реакциями в земной атмосфере, Обычно это сияние не такое сильное, но в ночь, когда был сделан этот снимок, оно было необычно ярким.
    English: In this ghostly night picture, taken at Paranal Observatory, we can see three out of four VLT Auxiliary Telescopes. Each one of them is a 1.8-metre telescope designed to work along with the other three as a single telescope, thanks to the VLT Interferometer. In the background, the quiet beauty of the Atacama sky is enhanced by a red aurora-like shimmer, called airglow, which is caused by light-emitting chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Normally, those emissions are not so strong, but the night this image was taken they were unusually bright, producing this unusual picture.
