@tommi the slide references #Chile|an Project #Cybersyn. The idea was to build a distributed decision support system for the management of the national economy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Cybersyn

You may have seen it over on @Mastodon, but in case not: The new plushies are now live on the shop, alongside restocked and new mugs. Shipping to EU, UK, Switzerland, Norway, and the US. We decided to allow orders from the US, but shipping is what it is (from Germany).
A hypnotising view of Paranal in #Chile!
Yet the sky is not revolving around the tip of one of our Auxiliary Telescopes. This illusion is caused by the almost perfect alignment with the southern celestial pole, around which stars seem to trail due to Earth's rotation.
Capturing these circular star trails is no easy task: a slight misalignment can completely ruin the outcome! 😲

Chileans are voting on Sunday to elect a president as one of Latin America’s wealthiest nations faces the unfamiliar challenges of high crime, clandestine migration and a torpid economy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/17/world/politics/chile-vote-political-extremes/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #chile #southamerica #latinamerica
A dance of two pairs!
While the two Magellanic Clouds shine upon the Atacama Desert in #Chile, two Auxiliary Telescopes of ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer point up to the sky.
Just like our cosmic neighbours move around the Milky Way, the Auxiliary Telescopes can be moved along rails and arranged in different configurations when observing the sky.

After years of center-left rule, polls show Chileans clamoring for order and authoritarianism, with growing numbers openly expressing nostalgia for the dictatorship of late general Augusto Pinochet. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/04/world/politics/pinochet-crime-nostalgia-chile/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #augustopinochet #chile #crime #southamerica
Open Sesame!
The doors of our Extremely Large Telescope have moved for the first time. This was no small feat, as each door will weigh 650 tonnes once completed.
The ELT dome and its doors will guard the telescope from the harsh conditions of the Atacama Desert in #Chile.

Right in time for #Halloween 🎃
The VLT Survey Telescope has spotted a spooky bat flying over Paranal in #Chile. But fear not, it's located 10,000 light-years away.
What looks like a "cosmic bat" is in fact a large cloud of cosmic gas and dust where new stars are being born. Let's fly through it in this video...if you dare! 🦇

The magic of a pristine sky 🤩
The Milky Way arches over our Very Large Telescope, set under a colourful sky. This so-called airglow is extremely faint and only noticeable in the darkest regions, such as the Atacama Desert in #Chile. So, preserving pristine skies not only enables cutting-edge research, but it also allows photographers to capture the magic of a perfectly dark night.
