Scientific paper

The Very Large Telescope (VLT) Observatory on Cerro Paranal (2635 m) in Northern Chile was completed last year when the fourth of the 8-m Unit Telescopes saw first light. Meanwhile, the preparation for first fringes of the VLT Interferometer (VLTI) advanced rapidly and first fringes with two siderostats will be achieved in March 2001. We describe the status of the VLTI and its subsystems, show first results obtained with the interferometer and discuss the further planning for the different telescopes and instruments.
