Our VST has spotted a spooky bat flying over Paranal. But fear not, it's located 10,000 light-years away.
This "cosmic bat" is in fact a large cloud of gas. Let's fly through it in this video...if you dare! 🦇

The ELT doors have moved for the first time. This was no small feat, as each door will weigh 650 tonnes once completed.
The ELT dome & its doors will guard the telescope from the harsh conditions of the Atacama Desert.

Cuando las manecillas del reloj se atrasan o adelantan artificialmente por decisión humana, el debate sobre si el cambio de hora está justificado vuelve a aflorar. ¿Cuánto se ahorra en consumo energético? ¿Cómo afecta a los hogares?

Imágenes obtenidas por el Gran Telescopio Canarias y el 2m TTT han permitido a los astrónomos comprobar que el cometa interestelar viaja a 51,25 km/s, mucho más rápido que los anteriores ’Oumuamua y 2I/Borisov, y ayudan a determinar un poco mejor su origen

Really impressive images of #3IATLAS from Gemini North telescope. We are really fascinated by its passage through our cosmic neighborhood. Multispectral imagery will help to understand the compositional nature of this rare object. Details in:

A central bright, glowing region with orange and red clouds of dust and gas streaming outward in multiple directions. Blue and white jets of matter can be seen emerging from the center.
🚨 Astronomers have witnessed the dawn of a new solar system!
They observed the first specks of planet-forming material — hot minerals beginning to solidify around HOPS-315, a baby star 1300 light-years away.

Black holes don't have the friendliest reputation, but they're one of the most fascinating cosmic beasts out there!
Join us on this episode of #ChasingStarlight to meet some record-breaking black holes.
🚨 Spoiler alert: one eats a whole Sun each day... 😱

Astronomers who correct for foreground dust extinction: wouldn't it be great to know the R(V) value towards your target, rather than just assuming it's 3.1?
Zhang & Green have mapped R(V) in every direction, using Gaia data, for the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds. 🔭☄️

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.
