On this image taken at La Silla on 10 May 2008, the 3.6-m telescope and the attached dome of the CAT is seen, beautifully illuminated by the setting Moon. The 3.6-m telescope is host to the HARPS instrument, perhaps the most successful exoplanet hunter that exists. It has, among others, discovered the system of planets around Gliese 581, including the most Earth-like planet found till now, Gliese 581c. The Milky Way with its myriad of stars and, most likely, plethora of planets still to be discovered, is also beautifully depicted in this 30-second exposure photo. Photo: Serge Brunier.
