There's a partial solar #eclipse tomorrow! The #Moon will slip between #Earth and the #Sun, casting its shadow over us 🌞🌕🌍

To get in the spirit, let’s take a (very) close peek at our cosmic neighbour, with its crater-covered surface. And, sadly, no cheese in sight 🧀 👀

This image was captured in early January through the Nasmyth A focus of the UT1 telescope at our Very Large Telescope (VLT) in #Chile

A closeup image of a circular patch of the Moon's surface, bright and gray, sprinkled with mountains and circular craters of different sizes. This image is surrounded by a circular shadow and a cross-shaped shadow of the structure that supports one of the telescope's mirrors.

'Half of the US State Dept is actually the #coup-plotting CIA:

Declassified #JFKFiles reveal that, in 1961, 47% of so-called "political officers" working in US embassies around the world were intel agents #spying on/destabilizing the countries where they were stationed.

In #Chile, 11 of the 13 embassy “political officers” were undercover #CIA.

At the time, the CIA had 3700 operatives undercover overseas, compared to 3900 officials for the State Dept.' -Ben Norton

Check out these pics to catch one last glimpse of Saturn's rings before they "disappear" from view for a while! 🪐 🤩

On 23 March, the Earth's orbit will cross the plane of the rings, making the majestic rings appear edge-on from our perspective. Since Saturn will be positioned very close to the Sun in the sky, it won’t be possible to observe it as the Earth crosses the plane. ⁠The rings will then become visible again in September this year.

Courtesy of ESO astronomer Abigail Frost, these images were captured in early January through the Nasmyth A focus of Unit Telescope 1 at our Very Large Telescope (VLT) in #Chile .

An image of Saturn against a blue sky, observed through a telescope. Saturn appears as a small yellowish disk, crossed diagonally by a thin line, which is in fact Saturn's rings seen almost edge on. The blue sky is partially blocked by various circular and straight shadows of the telescope's mirrors and its support structures.

Planetary party portrait above Paranal!

In this image, taken in early February, the planets of the Solar System appear to parade one after the other above our Paranal Observatory in #Chile. Joining the party are the #Moon, the #MilkyWay, and a special guest: comet C/2024 G3 ☄️

A question we often get is whether the planets orbit the Sun in the same plane as the disc of the Milky Way. This image shows that's not the case: the plane of the Solar System –the ecliptic– is tilted about 60º relative to the Milky Way.

The image is a circular fisheye projection, with the horizon around the circular edge and the highest part of the sky at the centre of the circle. It shows eight telescope domes around the edge. The moon lights the telescopes and the desert from behind, creating a haze across, but above it the sky is pretty dark and full of stars. Our Milky Way galaxy –– an arc made dense by white points and hues of pink and purple –– crosses the image vertically. Several planets, which look like dots, appear aligned more or less horizontally across the sky. The image is marked with text for white points of interest, including the Milky Way, planets and comet C/2024 G3, which looks like the streak of a shooting star, blazing white.

From the stairs to the stars! 🪜✨ Other than going to #space, the next best way to feel close to the stars is from the dark skies high up in #Chile’s Atacama Desert, where our Very Large Telescope(*) is located.

Those yellow beams are the VLT’s laser guide stars, shooting up from the telescope (to the right, but outside of the frame) into the sky. The laser beams create artificial stars high up in the atmosphere, which the telescope’s adaptive optics system uses to make the sharpest possible observations of the cosmos, from the ground.

(*) The VLT actually comprises several telescopes. And yes, you can tease us about the name 😅

At the centre of the image is the silhouette of a person standing on a tall viewing platform, at least 5 metres high and almost just as wide. It has a two-level staircase leading up to it. The dark foreground silhouette of stairs and platform contrasts with the night sky filled with stars, showing blue and green hues, and the cloudy, white Milky Way plane reaching across, diagonally. At the top right, two orange laser beams emerging from outside the frame seem to converge towards the galactic plane.
