Our lunar neighbour looms large over Cerro Paranal, the home of the Very Large Telescope in Chile's Atacama desert.
The moon appears large because it is so close to the horizon.
The picture was taken from 14 kilometres away on the road to another mountain, the nearby Cerro Armazones, proposed site of the European Extremely Large Telescope – which as its name suggests is intended to be the biggest telescope on Earth.
