Abstract
The ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer has recently produced its first images, achieving a spatial resolution of a few milliarcseconds. The published images reveal the
precise astrometry of close massive binaries (θ1 Ori C and HD87643), the presence of material close to the surface of an old, variable star (T Lep), and the dusty environment of
an active galactic nucleus (NGC 1068). However, this is only a first step and additional results and numerous improvements are expected in the forthcoming years.
