VLT Site Decision (part 1) Recorded in December 1990, this
historic video documents one of the most important decisions
that had to be made regarding the Very Large Telescope (VLT).
The participants of this meeting are deciding the future site of
the VLT. Cerro Paranal in the Atacama desert, the place that was
chosen, is one of the driest places on Earth. Its excellent
weather conditions, together with the advanced technology of the
VLT, make the telescope the most productive individual ground-
based astronomical facility. About the Video |Release date:||4
