So here we are with the final five images from the ESO Top 100 Images series. The 340-million pixel starscape from Paranal at number 4 is without doubt one of our favourite from the series (view as 1280px × 734px image here). We hope you have enjoyed viewing these 100 images over the last few months as much as we have. Enjoy!
