KirjeldusThe Very Large Telescope and the star system Alpha Centauri.jpg
Afrikaans: Die Baie Groot Teleskoop (BGT) van die ESO se Paranalsterrewag in Chili staan op die voorgrond in hierdie beeld. Die ryk sterreagtergrond sluit die helder dubbelster Alpha Centauri in, wat saam met Proxima Centauri die naaste sonnestelsel aan die Aarde vorm. Einde 2016 het die ESO 'n ooreenkoms onderteken met Breakthrough Initiatives om die BGT-instrumentasie aan te pas vir 'n soektog na planete in die Alpha Centauri-stelsel. Sulke planete kan teikens word vir miniatuur-ruimteprobes wat uiteindelik deur die Breakthrough Starshot-inisiatief gelanseer kan word. Etlike suidelike sterrebeelde word ook aangedui.
English: The foreground of this image shows ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile. The rich stellar backdrop to the picture includes the bright star Alpha Centauri, the closest stellar system to Earth. In late 2016 ESO signed an agreement with the Breakthrough Initiatives to adapt the VLT instrumentation to conduct a search for planets in the Alpha Centauri system. Such planets could be the targets for an eventual launch of miniature space probes by the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative.
