A moving story behind a beautiful snapshot of #Comet C/2024 G3 ATLAS:

“We took the photograph while we were en route from northern #Chile to Santiago, travelling to attend the first workshop on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion for the Chilean astronomical community at ESO-Vitacura. Little did we know that this journey would present us with a once-in-a-lifetime observational opportunity!

The flight was delayed, and as the plane ascended, the timing coincided perfectly with sunset. By pure coincidence, the window seat in our row was unoccupied, providing us an unobstructed view of the breathtaking landscape below. It was then that we noticed a faint but unmistakable glow in the sky: Comet C/2024 G3 Atlas!

Eager to share this spectacle, we informed the flight attendants, who promptly passed on the news to the pilots. They were as enthusiastic as us, and they made an announcement to the passengers, describing the rare sight visible outside the plane. The pilots dimmed the cabin lights and even turned off the wing lights to enhance visibility, allowing everyone onboard to experience the comet in its full glory.

The cabin was filled with awe as passengers took pictures of the comet. This moment was a testament to how celestial events can bring people together, even at 30,000 feet!”

Thanks for sharing this wonderful image and story, Virginia Cuomo from the Astronomy Department of La Serena University in Chile and the Chilean Astronomical Society, and Annagrazia Puglisi from the School of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Southampton!

A view from an airplane window during twilight, showing the wing silhouetted against the sky. A comet –a white elongated smudge– hovers above the horizon, surrounded by scattered stars. Below, faint city lights dot the dark landscape.


1/ ☄️ #Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) is gracing our skies, and we’d like to share some amazing images from our Paranal Observatory in #Chile!

This stunning shot by our friend Yuri Beletsky, with the comet next to an Auxiliary Telescope, is today's Astronomy Picture of the Day. Congrats, Yuri!

A sunset photograph at an observatory. The colour of the sky changes from blue, almost purple, to golden at the horizon. There’s a white closed telescope dome with a spherical top. To its left, the comet stretches diagonally across almost the entire image, as if it had been painted on the sky with a gigantic brush. The tail of the comet is white and full of intricate filaments.

The #NightSky over #LaSilla in #Chile at 1:18 UTC, with the #comet at the horizon and lots of other sky objects labeled, including four #planets (currently the subject of the global false internet meme that they have "lined up" or something; here you see that they are actually spread all over the sky).
Full all sky image with lots of sky objects - including four from the solar system - labeled.

#Introduction Hi #fediverse ! We’re the European Southern Observatory, and we design, build and operate ground-based telescopes.

One of them is our Extremely Large Telescope, currently under construction in #Chile. It will have a 39 m mirror, and its rotating enclosure will weigh 6100 tonnes, or about 700 mastodons!

We’re looking forward to chatting with all of you about #astronomy

The giant metal frame of a dome takes up most of the picture frame, contrasting with the brown hills and a thin horizontal line of blue sky in the background. The dome's frame is not yet fully covered in the middle, so the dark brown landscape behind it shows. The big opening in the dome's roof shows the interior, still a construction site with a structure of white beams. In front of the big building is one red crane, taller than the dome.
