ESO's Director General and the Managing Director of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) Observatory have signed the agreement needed for CTA's southern hemisphere array to be hosted near ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. In addition, the Chilean Government and ESO have signed the agreement enabling ESO to host this new telescope within ESO's Paranal Observatory site. This will allow the world's most ambitious gamma-ray observatory to access not only Chile's pristine observing conditions, but also ESO's state-of-the-art infrastructure, expertise, and facilities. ESO will operate the facility on behalf of the CTA Observatory and its Members. The release, images and videos are available on:
