The creation of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in 1962 was the
culmination of the dream of leading astronomers from five European
countries. Over the years, as more member states joined, ESO constructed
the La Silla and Paranal observatories, as well as the Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) together with partners. ESO is now
starting to build the world's biggest eye on the sky, the European
Extremely Large Telescope. At the dawn of 2012, its 50th anniversary year,
ESO is ready to enter a new era. One that not even its founding members
could have anticipated in their boldest dreams. Constantly at the
technological forefront, ESO is ready to tackle new and as yet
unimaginable territories of high-precision technology and scientific
discovery. Produced especially for ESO's 50th anniversary, this
sumptuously illustrated book takes the reader behind the scenes of the
most productive ground-based observatory in the world. It contains the
best 300 of ESO's images, hand-picked from a large collection of more than
100 000 images.
