Description
English: This image features a veritable panoply of telescopes, situated at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), a Program of NSF's NOIRLab. In the foreground stands the Thai Southern Hemisphere Telescope, which forms part of Thai Robotic Telescope Network (TRTN) of The National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT). Five of the seven Panchromatic Robotic Optical Monitoring and Polarimetry Telescopes (PROMPT) are clustered in the background. However, you would be forgiven for overlooking the telescopes, given the truly extraordinary backdrop in this image— the Milky Way galaxy.
Español: Esta imagen muestra una verdadera colección de telescopios ubicados en el Observatorio Cerro Tololo (CTIO), un Programa de NOIRLab de NSF. En primer plano se encuentra el Telescopio Tailandés del Hemisferio Sur que forma parte de la Red Tailandesa de Telescopios Robóticos (TRTN por sus siglas en inglés) del Instituto Nacional de Investigación Astronómica de Tailandia (NARIT por sus siglas en inglés). Por si no lo notaste, cinco de siete Telescopios de Polarimetría y Monitoreo Óptico Robótico Pancromático (PROMPT por sus siglas en inglés) están agrupados al fondo, pero te perdonaremos que no los hayas visto, dado el extraordinario telón de fondo galáctico de esta imagen: la Vía Láctea.
