VISTA, which stands for the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy, is a ground-based telescope located at the Paranal Observatory in Chile. It is primarily designed for wide-field infrared surveys of the sky. VISTA is operated by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and was built to complement other telescopes, especially those that operate in different wavelengths.
