Ua hoʻokuʻu ka European Southern Observatory (ESO) i kahi kiʻi kupaianaha o nā ʻāpana ākea o ko kākou galaxy.
Hōʻike ke kiʻi i nā hōkūhele ʻo Venus a me Jupiter ma ka ʻaoʻao haʻahaʻa. ʻĀlohilohi pū ka Milky Way ma ka lewa.
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka Hale Kilokilo ʻo La Silla o ESO ma ke alo o ke kiʻi. Aia ia ma ka lihi o ka Wao nahele ʻo Atacama, 600 km ma ka ʻākau o Santiago de Chile ma ke kiʻekiʻe o 2400 mika.
E like me nā hale kiaʻi hōkū ʻē aʻe ma ia wahi, ua mamao loa ʻo La Silla mai nā kumu o ka haumia o ka mālamalama a ke kaena nei paha i ka lani pōʻeleʻele loa ma ka Honua. ʻAe kēia i nā kiʻi kūikawā o ka laulā o ka lewa.
Ma ke kiʻi i paʻi ʻia, ʻike ʻia ka Milky Way ma ke ʻano he lipine hōkū e moe ana ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka honua holoʻokoʻa. ʻO Venus ka mea ʻālohilohi loa ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ke kiʻi, ʻoiai ʻo Jupiter ka wahi palupalu o ka mālamalama ma lalo a ma ka ʻākau iki.
He mea kūpono ke hoʻomaopopo ʻana ua lilo ʻo La Silla i kahua no ESO i nā makahiki 1960. Maanei, hoʻohana ʻo ESO i ʻelua mau telescope papa ʻehā mika—ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea huahua loa ma ka honua.
