The world’s largest telescope has captured its first images of the night sky

After more than a decade of construction, the observatory atop El Peñón has finally begun operations this spring. In just ten hours of observation, the telescope recorded millions of galaxies and dozens of asteroids — marking the beginning of a new era in our exploration of the universe.

The first released image features the Trifid Nebula and the Lagoon Nebula, both located within the Milky Way.
