Summary

Description
Afrikaans: Hierdie lugfoto toon die spasieuse terrein van die hoofkantoor van die Europese Suidelike Sterrewag (ESO) in Garching bei München, Duitsland. Terwyl die ESO se teleskope oor Chili in die suidelike halfrond versprei is, huisves Garching die wetenskaplike, tegniese en administratiewe sentra van die ESO, waar ontwikkelingsprogramme uitgevoer word om die sterrewagte van die mees gevorderde instrumente te voorsien.

Die geboue in die middel van die beeld, albei met vloeiende kurwes, is die ESO se twee hoofkwartiere. Die boonste gebou was jare lank die organisasie se enigste tuiste totdat die onderste rooidak-uitbreiding opgerig, en in Desember 2013 ingewy is. Die swart geronde struktuur aan regterhand is die tegniese gebou waar werk aan nuwe instrumente uitgevoer word. Aldrie voorgenoemdes word deur krom brûe verbind, hier sigbaar as 'n drie-armige swart loopvlak.

Die nuwe rooidak-uitbreiding, ontwerp deur argitekte Auer+Weber, help nou om ESO se groeiende personeelliggaam te huisves en wêreldklas-sterrekundige navorsing in die ontwerp- en konstruksiefase van die Europese Baie Groot Teleskoop (E-BGT) te fasiliteer, die wêreld se grootste oog op die ruimte. Voorheen was sommige personeellede oor die Garching-kampus versprei en is in geboue soortgelyk aan die wit blokgeboue links op die prent geakkommodeer.

Hierdie lugfoto is op 9 Junie 2014 deur die lugfotograaf Ernst Graf (graf-flugplatz.de) geneem.
English: This aerial photograph shows the sprawling site of the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Headquarters in Garching bei München, Germany. While ESO operates telescopes scattered across Chile in the southern hemisphere, Garching houses the scientific, technical and administrative centre of ESO, where development programmes are carried out to provide the observatories with the most advanced instruments.

The buildings in the centre of the frame, both with sleek, curved designs, are the two main ESO Headquarters buildings — the top-right building was the organisation’s sole base for many years before it was recently joined by the lower red-roofed extension, which was inaugurated in December 2013. The black, rounded building is the technical building, where work on new instruments is carried out. Each of the individual Headquarters buildings are connected by curved bridges, seen here as the three-armed black shape in the centre of the frame.

The new extension, designed by architects Auer+Weber, now helps to house ESO’s growing numbers of staff and to facilitate world-class astronomical research in the design and construction phase of the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), the world’s biggest eye on the sky. Previously, some members of staff were spread across the Garching campus and housed in buildings similar to the white blocks seen to the left of this image.

This aerial image was taken on 9 June 2014 by aerial photographer Ernst Graf (graf-flugplatz.de).
