ASTRONMERS have created the world's largest virtual optical telescope linking four telescopes in Chile, the group operates as a single device. These telescopes are very large [VTL] and at the Paranal Observatory form a virtual mirror of 130 metres in diameter. The telescope observatory is located 2,635m above sea level. Thursday , February 02, 2012 the system's were link were the final step before scientific work begins. Linking the 4 together will give scientists a much more cleared detailed view of the universe. The process of linking the 4 scopes is called "inteferometry". This link has made this observatory the largest and biggest ground-based optical telescope on the earth. The telescope is set up by the European Southern Observatory or {ESO} This organization is headquarted in Munich, Germany and is sponsered by 15 other countries. The large scope will allow scientists to look and observe things as they never had before. This is the second attempt a such a large scope as the first attempt failed in 2010, but astronmers and scientists alike feel thrilled to start seeing a sharp view of heavens!
