Pretty big to block out an entire star.

Viewing the stars on a Chilean night sky is on my bucket list. I've heard, even without a telescope, that it is breath taking.

Are those pics filtered or is that how it really looks to the naked eye?

That shite is so cool.
Get some great Chilean wine and just stare at stars all night with a buzz.
That's definitely on my bucket list.

normally i would assume they were filtered just because they were on the internet, but im not sure. those pictures were taken from the bbc website
heres a video of a timelapse of the chilean night sky: youtube
some of the footage seems to be from the place the gnome was talking about

You'll like the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope, which would have been much bigger. It was passed over in favor of the Extremely Large Telescope instead. Both of these are bigger than the Very Large.

Not how it looks to the naked eye; most of these are long-term exposure shots. The longer the shutter stays open, the more light it collects to make the pretty pictures.
Even so, out in the dark-sky sites of the desert, you can still see some pretty amazing detail. You'd be blown away compared to what you've seen compared to light polluted areas.

1,864,113,576 miles is pretty far out for a planet of this size to form. Of course, it's thought that our own Jupiter formed further out and then drifted in to its present location. Saturn also drifted in and its gravity, combined with Jupiter's, caused Neptune and Uranus to move outward from the sun and to switch orbits. Uranus was once the outer-most planet.
