An exciting milestone today, with the kick-off meeting between the CUBES Consortium & @ESO for the start of the construction phase 🔭 🇧🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇵🇱🇬🇧

[SAGA Team @SAGAatCAMK]

Happy to say that the Memorandum of Understanding of the @VLT_CUBES consortium has been signed by all partners!

Now Phase B of this exciting instrument can go into full throttle.

2027 in Paranal!

[ESO @ESO]

1/ A new instrument will join our Very Large Telescope in the future! On February 15 @eso and @mediainaf signed an agreement to begin the operational phase of CUBES, a new ultraviolet spectrograph.

[MEDIA INAF @mediainaf]

✅ Passa alla fase operativa #CUBES, uno #spettrografo innovativo per la banda #ultravioletta da installare sul Very Large Telescope dell’@ESO. Il progetto @VLT_CUBES è portato avanti da un consorzio di istituti di 5 paesi guidato dall’#INAF 🇧🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇵🇱🇬🇧

Perfect 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☀️to start the week, ahead of @VLT_CUBES Phase B planning mtg later 🇧🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇵🇱🇬🇧

[Tayyaba Zafar @tzafar_astro]

I gave a seminar about @VLT_CUBES fibrelink today, reminding me of Australian involvement and amazing science we can do.

[Chris Evans @chrisinembra]

With roots in our 🇧🇷🇬🇧 @GCRF project, quantitative predictions by @drheitor1 for selected heavy elements with @VLT_CUBES now submitted ✨🔭

[SAGA Team @SAGAatCAMK]

Yesterday, the Director General of @ESO spoke at the opening ceremony of the 40th meeting of the Polish Astronomical Society.

One of his slides was dedicated to @VLT_CUBES, a project with participation of the @SAGAatCAMK Team!

Blog post on new results for an extremely metal-poor star in the Milky Way and how its chemistry constrains some of the first explosions in the Universe, with mention of the role that CUBES can play in heavy-element determinations of larger/fainter samples in the future

[AstronomyAustralia @AstroAustralia]

How did the @SkyMapper and @ESO #VLT telescopes strike gold (and other heavy elements) in the early Universe? And what's that got to do with a magnetorotational hypernova? Check out our latest AAL ESO Blog for the answers: https://t.co/l1eD1A1R8L
