Paranal Observatory in Chile 's Atacama Desert is the darkest and clearest of any astronomical observatory in the world.

The industrial megaproject is planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometers from telescopes at Paranal.

Relocating the complex would save one of Earth 's last truly pristine dark skies.

The relocation of this project remains the only effective way to prevent irreversible damage to Paranal 's unique skies.
