Bye Twitter/X, see you in bluer skies 🦋

Adiós Twitter/X, nos vemos en cielos más azules 🦋

The German newspaper Die Zeit covered the hand, writing:

"A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute".

Los cielos de Chile son un patrimonio del planeta en investigación astronómica. Miles de millones de dólares en nuevos telescopios para investigaciones de frontera que pueden cambiar el futuro de nuestro planeta. No pongamos en riesgo esto que nos hace un país único en el mundo.

Segundo video, con datos incluyendo el informe elaborado por @ESO_Chile que les dejaré en el primer comentario ⬇️

La astronomía es eje clave para el desarrollo científico de Chile y su presencia internacional, ambos proyectos pueden coexistir, pero no como se plantea actualmente

[ESO Chile @ESO_Chile]

⚠️ Los cielos del desierto de Atacama –los más oscuros y claros del mundo– están en peligro por un megaproyecto industrial.

AES Andes propuso ubicar un complejo industrial a pocos kilómetros de nuestro Observatorio Paranal. Esto afectaría irreparablemente las observaciones.

[Jesus Corral Santana @jcorrals]

A new industrial megaproject just 7 km from Cerro Paranal risks the future of the observatory. There is no need to choose between Astronomy and other projects, both can/should coexist if they are more distant between each other. [personal opinion].

[ESO @ESO]

The skies above Paranal are at risk from a proposed industrial megaproject. 

This would be located in the vicinity of ESO's Observatory. If constructed, it would irreparably impact astronomical observations.

@RafaelBachiller @ESO Feliz año para ti también @RafaelBachiller !! Mis mejores deseos para este 2025!
Yo voy a pedir mejor pulso sacando fotos 😂

Saturn observed with an 8-m telescope (taken with my phone and bad pulse) @ESO #Paranal

[Jesus Corral Santana @jcorrals]

And this is how a pro with good camera and better pulse does it: @AstroDrFrost. Al the credits to her!

This year I’m going to take real holidays. Mail closed, Teams closed and logged out and automatic reply set. See you next year! Happy holidays everyone!

Following Storm Dorothea, the Spanish Canary Islands were affected by a haze brought on by strong gusts of wind on 17 December 2024, which carried suspended dust from the Sahara Desert.

This dense haze, known locally as calima, led to decreased air quality in several areas. ⤵️

Meet the central tower of ESO’s #ELT!

The size of a three-storey building, it will support three of the ELT’s five mirrors: M3 (at the bottom of the tower), M4 (at the top) & M5 (at the centre).

📣 ESO's VLTI takes the first close-up picture of a star outside our galaxy!

Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, this star is roughly 2000 times larger than our Sun and is in the last stages before it becomes a supernova: https://t.co/tB8afRxhVY

📣 Expanding Horizons: what will ESO's next programme be?

ESO's ELT is just a few years away from completion, which means we are already looking towards our next innovative ground-based project ⬇️
