Working together in so-called interferometric mode, the telescopes can achieve an angular resolution of around 1 milliarcsecond, equivalent to the gap between the headlights of a car as observed from the same distance as between the Earth to the Moon.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_Large_Telescope---Very Large Telescope - The world's most advanced visible-light astronomical observatoryThe Very Large Telescope array (VLT) is the flagship facility for ESO's ground-based astronomy at the beginning of the third Millennium. It is the worlds most advanced optical instrument, consisting of four Unit Telescopes with main mirrors of 8.2 m diameter and four movable 1.8 m diameter Auxiliary Telescopes.The telescopes can work together, in groups of two or three, to form a giant interferometer, the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer, allowing astronomers to see details up to 25 times finer than with the individual telescopes.The light beams are combined in the VLTI using a complex system of mirrors in underground tunnels where the light paths must be kept equal to distances less than 1/1000 mm over a hundred metres.With this kind of precision the VLTI can reconstruct images with an angular resolution of milliarcseconds, equivalent to distinguishing the two headlights of a car at the distance of the Moon.http://www.eso.org/public/astronomy/teles-instr/vlt.html---CREDITSImages: ESO, HubblecastMusic: Prologue/Lady in the Water (OST) / The Great Eatlon - James Newton HowardEditing: http://www.youtube.com/Best0fScience.
