An unobstructed view
On top of Roque de los Muchachos on the island of La Palma in the
Canary Islands, at a height of 2,400 metres, you feel slightly closer
to the universe. The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) gives astrono-
mers insights into distant galaxies, black holes and exoplanets.
La Palma provides near perfect conditions for looking into the
depths of space: clear air, dark-blue skies and minimal altitude wind
thanks to the trade winds and high mountains. The high altitude
means that the air contains fewer dirt particles that could impair
the quality of the sensitive optics of the large telescope, which has
a reflector diameter of 10.4 metres. Scientists also benefit from
the band of cloud at around 500 metres above sea level, which is
another of the island’s natural phenomena. Its filter effect reduces
light pollution at night to a minimum, thus ensuring an unobstruct-
ed view of the magnificent starlit sky and uncharted space, whose
secrets have yet to be discovered.
