Astronomers using #alma and the #vlt have discovered that both starburst galaxies in the early Universe and a star-forming region in a nearby galaxy contain a much higher proportion of massive stars t...
Glowing brightly about 160 000 light-years away, the Tarantula Nebula is the most spectacular feature of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to our Milky Way. The VLT Survey Telescope at ES...
Astronomers have used observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) to determine that star formation in the very distant galaxy MACS114...
ESO telescopes find first confirmed carbon-rich asteroid in Kuiper BeltAn international team of astronomers has used #eso telescopes to investigate a relic of the primordial Solar System. The team f...
New images from the SPHERE instrument on ESO’s Very Large #telescope are revealing the dusty discs surrounding nearby young stars in greater detail than previously achieved. They show a bizarre variet...
New #images from ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile and other telescopes reveal a rich landscape of stars and glowing clouds of gas in one of our closest neighbouring galaxies, the Small Magellanic C...
New data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and other telescopes have been used to create this stunning image showing a web of filaments in the Orion Nebula. These features a...
Most powerful interferometric instrument ever at mid-infrared wavelengthsThe new #matisse instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) has now successfully made its first observation...
ESO astronomer #suzannarandall is one step closer to her dream of becoming the first German woman to travel into space. She has been selected as a new trainee of the initiative Astronautin, which aims...
ESPRESSO instrument achieves first light with all four Unit TelescopesThe ESPRESSO instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile has used the combined light of all four of the 8.2-metre Unit Teles...
Sprawling across the Atacama Desert, 66 antennas work in unison with extraordinary precision to make the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Together, these antennas capture images si...
First glimpse of what Earth-sized exoplanets are made ofA new study has found that the seven planets orbiting the nearby ultra-cool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 are all made mostly of rock, and some could po...
A dark cloud of cosmic dust snakes across this spectacular wide field image, illuminated by the brilliant light of new stars. This dense cloud is a star-forming region called Lupus 3, where dazzlingly...
