ESO builds and operates some of the most advanced telescopes on Earth including the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory. These huge machines have made many fascinating discoveries about the Universe. Now, for the first time in its history, you can decide what to observe with the VLT, or even win an amazing trip to Chile's breathtaking Atacama Desert to help make the observations yourself.
The first of our two anniversary competitions is called Choose What the VLT Observes.
Usually, astronomers have to prepare a detailed plan long in advance, describing why they want to use the VLT,
