Did they actually name it 'The Very Large Telescope'? eek: |
It's called VLT because it is actually 4 telescoped hooked up together.
There is also a VLA (Very Large Array) in New Mexico:

On the topic of the article, its neato to see. Too bad its freezing there, and the planet is absolutley enormous.
BTW 450 light years away is so insignificant it's pretty much our own back yard. It sounds far, but when compared with the rest of the galaxy, it's a joke. And it's because the planet is so huge that we were able to see it.
