What is Successful First Light For The VLT Interferometer: C. CESARSKY, ESO Director General about?

First light from the bright star Sirius was directed through the complex VLTI optics to the VINCI instrument in the Interferometric Laboratory. This would never have been possible without the enormous dedication of a large number of people at ESO, in collaborating astronomical institutes and, not least, within European industry. It gives us all great confidence to see how these first observations were immediately followed up by on-line determinations of angular diameters of several other stars.
