Cerro Paranal is an astronomers paradise with its stunningly dark, steady and transparent sky. Located in the barren Atacama Desert of Chile it is home to some of the world's leading telescopes.
Operated by the European Southern Observatory (www.eso.org) the Very Large Telescope (VLT) is located on the Paranal mountain, composed of four 8 m telescopes which can combine their light to make a giant telescope by interferometry.
Four smaller auxiliary telescopes, each 1.8 m in aperture, are important elements of the VLT interferometer.
Walking on the desert near Paranal between the scattered stones and boulders on the pale red dust, feels like being on Mars but under the Earth sky.
Paranal was selected for cutting edge astronomical observations also because of the sky transparency and steady atmospheric condition which let astronomers peer into tiny details in the deep cosmos using giant telescopes.
This film is made with footage from the November 2011 TWAN imaging expedition to Paranal assigned by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). We photographed 14 nights in a row from usually 05:30 pm to 08:00 a.m.

The inside vista-observatory video is contributed by Stephane Guisard (www.astrosurf.com/sguisard).
The music is by Carbon Based Lifeforms (carbonbasedlifeforms.net). Song Arecibo extract from the album [Twentythree], write & produced by Johannes Hedberg and Daniel Segerstad, published by Ultimae (ultimae.com).
Equipment used by Christoph on assignment:
- 2 Nikon D3s
- 1 Nikon D700
- 1 Nikon D7000
- 2 AFS 12-24/2.8, 1 AFS 24-70/2.8, 1 AF 16/2.8 Fisheye, 1 AF DX 10/2.8 Fisheye
- Dynamic Perception Stage Zero Dolly with MX2
- Astrotrac AT320 X-AG and Merlin with MX2
Transitions done with Apple Aperture (see vimeo.com/35998.... Edited and rendered with Final Cut Pro 10, Motion and Compressor. Some re-edits recently done with LR4 and LRT, fun!. About 35000 TimeLapse images processed, 7500 used for this part of "Astronomers Paradise".
I hope we could at least capture the magic of this very special place a bit - this is how the night sky looks like, if people care about light pollution. And we need more people to do that.
With best regards,
Christoph Malin

Nothing can show better the sensation that we are floating in space than a clear-night time-lapse footage, and this one does it to perfection.
A trick: watch movies at flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Winston Tripp yup, have been using flixzone for since november myself =)
No words can accurately describe this amazing wonder. Been star gazing before but this blows it away by billions of miles. Would love to go again.
I'm freaking melting just seeing galaxys with the naked eye... thank you for the best thing I've seen yet!
What galaxys are you seeing? The only extern galaxy you can see with the naked eye is Andromeda and I couldn't see it in this video?
its not just Astronomer's paradise, its Astrophile's Paradise
I think this just became one of my favorite videos on CZcams! It feels like we’re looking out a small fish bowl and we’re the microbes floating in it.

i want to go here!! :'(
Daniele me too!
me too
I'll drive!
I love Paranal It's an amazing spot on earth 😍😍😍
I live nearby. I'll still visit .
+Felipe PB Is the laser guide star visible to the naked eye, or only to a long-exposure photo or video?
you can now actually see it! it used to be 4W now its 22W! our very own death star :) four lasers colliding and shooting stars :)
If you are not a professional astronomer working for the European consortium that administers the observatories, are you allowed to go inside the observatories, or you can only drive as a tourist and stay a couple of kilometers away from the observatories?
yes www.eso.org/public/about-eso/visitors/paranal/
Is the southern pole visible from your location?
Just curious
CHILE CIELOS PERFECTOS,MARAVILLOSOS UNICOS .
So beautiful, watching this fills me with sublime relaxation.
This is what inspires me to pursue my career as an Astronomer!
2:53 it looks like background is greenscreen.
beautiful! its like the whole place is floating in space.
Great Video...Time-lapse , Location is one of the best thing.
Seeing the night sky like this is the ONLY thing on my bucket list!
Very nice place to observe the night sky.
Very nice, fellows. The music was perfect. The cinematography speaks for itself.
Amazing!! Especially from the 3 mins mark 😍.
Perfect the new age music
I really enjoy listening to this background music because it brings me into the realm of ethereal void.
Really liked your video man!
Nicely done. Just awesome that location must have been.
So beautiful and mysterious, lots of UFO 👽
Nostalgic and beautiful
Wow, sehr schön gemachtes Video! Musik passt auch sehr gut dazu. ;-)
spanish?
Absolutely amazing!
Heaven on earth
Wow. Great site and awesome resources. Lucky if one can make it there
Beautiful
I would love to go there, just to look up n see a night sky like that. I live in the city. Never seen anything like that before
It's good enough with just leaving the city and reach some place with no artificial lights (or no lights at all) nearby, that's enough to be able to see the Milky Way, but it's true that there's no better place on Earth for doing that than the Atacama Desert, Chile, that's why most of humanity's telescopes are located there
Finally 1080p 💚💙💚
Sleeping in the outdoor at night and wake up in the middle of it, I am Absorbed into the Firmament , that is the best feeling in the world, jumping in the stars and feeling part of all that creation, i am sure it s been a natural thing for millenniums for people and animals.
excelente nota 7, cambio el audiovisual , al cambiarle la Musica de fondo.-muy bueno.-
Now THAT’S beauty
😊😊😊😊🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱 europeans are welcome in chile
Could you imagine tripping there????
How Can you not imagine tripping here at all?
It doens't look real, how deligthfull it is.
🙏.
spectacular !
I think it should be Astronomers' Paradise, unless there is only one astronomer.
Same
😁
@@flyinglizards80 lmao what?
@@zaidjamal5815 dude I have no idea why I said that. Lol. Deleted it. 😅
@@flyinglizards80 no it was nice man keep it lmao
It's a very lovely sky

Thank you Malin. This video is awesome. Where can I find more content from your photographs?
Incredible! I Love it!
This is a master piece but the version you uploaded on Vimeo is in HD and the resolution of this version is much lower. Any plans to replace this one with one with the original higher resolution? Liebe Gruesse.
Thankyou I enjoyed that video
Enchanting..
Beautiful eart flat!
amazing, like
I need to go camping to a place like that
perfect
Beuatifull!!!!❤️
Dear:
Waiting for you are well , we want to congratulate you for the work and making of the video , as national association of students of biochemistry (ANEB) wanted to request permission to use excerpts of their work in a promotional video where we show the beauty and uniqueness of our second region (Chile) and that next year we will have a congress of students nationwide in order to spread scientific community . We are a non-profit association and obviously give them credit for its creation.
With nothing more to say and waiting for a prompt response.
He says goodbye

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
We are the center of all things!
Hermoso!
Hi! I just wanna say I meet the Creator of those Telescopes, He Was Friends with my teacher in Hannah town many years ago He showed us What is it inside
「PixkSky _TvSøul135」
what ? and what is his name?
Buenas imágenes
綺麗ですね。
Incredible beauty. What was that vaporous shape at 4:37?
Jim Wagner i saw that,too
I really wanted to work in a place like that 🤩
I would use a optics compesation effect to resolve a fish eye.
😍😍😍😍
What is that emission of orange colored material at 4:37? Could be a meteor exploding in the sky?
someting hit the dome.. ;)
Now that's a price of cake.😘
Nice video.
That is so fucking crazy.
i wish if i would be there D:
The only issue I have with this video is, it's way to short..
i love too much astronomy
very cool! I just uploaded a cinematic Griffith Observatory video =]
Couldn't help noticing the Magellanic Clouds.. in our galactic neighbourhood.. but wheres Andromeda ?
What are the other two fuzzy spots on the opposite of milky way .... Andromeda ? And the other ?
No its not Andromeda at 3:02 it's the galaxies which are orbiting our own galaxy and they are called Small and Large Magellanic Clouds
I can’t believe this exists. Really is a shame a lot of the world is covered by light pollution. I’ve only seen something kind of similar to this once in upstate New York, not to this extent tho. It is life changing.
@ 3:50 is that Venus and Jupiter following the moon? I live in Connecticut and one morning just as the sunlight was peeking on the horizon I noticed a bright star just above the horizon. I grabbed some regular binoculars and looked and could tell whatever it was, it was at half phase. Like a tiny little half moon, so I looked it up and found that to be Venus. I had become so obsessed with finding planets and seeing craters on the moon with these cheap little binoculars. Lol I need a good telescope.
"stars are there, to show where the finish line is" Chinese proverb
but is this visible to the naked eye?
Please insert Dream#2
That put me back to how much important i am
❤
noicee
3:16 looks like van goghs starry night 😯
atacama la silla. amazones and chajnantor
Elon,
If you want to live amongst the stars you can do so now.
Build starbase in atacama
did they use the astronomical observatory to capture this?
please helpp
no.. just using camera
notre planete s echauffe et encore on a rien retrouve planet insolite
Seria genial dormir ahí
with air polution people forgot that there are stars in the sky
4:37 ?????????????????????????
Wher the observatory?
Chile ,Atacama
480 p 🙄
what is that orange line at 4:57?
***** hey sorry i meant the line that appears at around 4.58 for a very brief second before the screen changes to the credits. The line isn't from a satellite because it doesn't start from the ground, it just seems to be coming from the sky???? thanks!
Hi, it is the Sodium Laser (same as in 1:34 for example) that peeked into the frame. It was shot with a Nikon AF16mm/2.8 Fisheye pointed to the Sky. It has such a wide angle that it catches the Sodium laser of one of the VLTs, but the Sodium Laser itself is moving across the Sky during the night, as it is used for tracking. So during a long observing night, the laser can get into the frame. Cheers
@@ChristophMalin what is that explosion you see at 4:37?
GrummanPilot99 That‘s a „Meteor Persistent Train“, google that and you find many Examples. Here‘s a rather brief scientific explanation although already a bit older.

It is truly miraculous how Allah , the most merciful has created this. No doubt this is one of his big sings for mankind to take heed and be reminded of that the day of judgement , after life etc
is it photoshop?

The Earth is Flat!!
@Fred Cink rebata o argumento!
ha ? what? earth is a circle and sirmulation o glitches!
This is b.s. and you are taking film from the ESO and tainting it. . There is a reason why they never spin the stars and thats because you cant spin stars that are leaving or arcing because of the milky ways thats causing the stars to arc near the horizon.
