CTA's Southern Hemisphere Site Rendering

Caption

This image illustrates all three classes of the 99 telescopes planned for the southern hemisphere site in Paranal, Chile as viewed from the center of the array. While not an accurate representation of the final array layout (the smallest telescopes will be spread just beyond the center), this rendering illustrates the enormous scale of the CTA telescopes and the array, itself.
