Captivating Image: Full Hunter's Moon Illuminates World's Largest Telescope

The European Southern Observatory's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) captured a stunning photo of the full Hunter's Moon rising behind it. The photo was taken on October 28 at the construction site of the ELT in Chile. The Moon appears larger due to an optical effect when it is close to the horizon. The ELT, set to be completed in 2028, will be the world's largest visible and infrared-light telescope, featuring five mirrors and weighing 6,100 tonnes.
