Description

In this talk, I would like to introduce ESO, the European Southern Observatory. After a brief overview of the organization, I will present the current and future telescopes and instruments at our observatories (La Silla, VLT/I, VST, VISTA, ELT, CTA). We will also have a look at the diverse science, which can be done with these huge machines, and our motivations for building ever bigger telescopes.
