ORVIETO, ITALY—After spending €15 million to help build a powerful
survey telescope in Chile, Italy doesn't have the €250,000 a year needed
to analyze the exquisite data that the telescope has begun to collect.

With a diameter of 2.6 meters and a giant 268 megapixel camera, the Vlt
Survey Telescope (VST) is the largest telescope in the world
specifically designed to survey the skies in visible light. The newest
addition to the European Southern Observatory (ESO), it is adjacent to
the Very Large Telescope (VLT), four 8.2 meter optical telescopes at
Cerro Paranal in Chile. A joint venture between the Osservatorio
Astronomico di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy—that is part of the National
Institute of Astrophysics (INAF)—and ESO, it began capturing its first
pictures in June.

There are shed loads of easy money out there. You only have to ask.
