ESO photo ambassador Gabriel Brammer captured a perfect moment on the Paranal platform, where the number three seems to be the leitmotif. Three ESO staff members walk on the platform among three Auxiliary Unit Telescopes of the Very Large Telescope, while three planets can be seen in a conjunction above them in the twilight sky. Jupiter (top), Venus (lower left), and Mercury (lower right). The photo was taken on 26 May 2013.
