Why Chile?

After all that effort in construction, you want to make sure you put your giant, very expensive telescope where the bright lights of cities won’t block out the stars. Nor do you want heavy clouds to get in the way at night. Chile, the Canary Islands in Spain and dry areas in the USA, such as Texas and Arizona are popular, ‘clear sky’ locations to site telescopes. Parts of Chile’s Atacama Desert are so dry, scientists believe it hasn’t rained for at least 20 million years. That’s bone dry. As a result, it has some of the clearest, cloud-free skies in the world – perfect for stargazing.
