Awesome short video showing how ESO develops and operates world-leading astronomical facilities for and with the astronomical community. Proud of these achievements, thanks to our staff, and to the unfailing support from member states and partners. Enjoy!!!

I'm deeply saddened to learn about Graziella passing away. An amazing professional and a pool of wisdom on high-energy spectroscopy. RIP

Alessandro Dr.Ed oggi la giovane meratese ci ha fatto la carbonara per celebrare il suo compleanno. Non è proprio purissima, lo so, ma quelli che l'hanno mangiato dicono che OK. Nessuno è romano, però... 😉

The first batch (18) of ESO #ELT primary mirror polished segments have arrived in Paranal Observatory. They will be the first ones going through the coating procedure. Thanks to the amazing work by our team!

Dear Minister Dijkgraaf Robbert Dijkgraaf We are so very proud at that you showed the ESO telescopes #VLT in Paranal and #ELT in Armazones as well as BlackGEM Array in La Silla to explain the importance of astronomy for society! Glad that your visit was so helpful!

My ESO colleagues have put together this nicely crafted report. It shows how we are enabling Europe to be at the forefront of ground-based astronomy. It is a tribute to the support of our Member States, the community and the hard work of the ESO staff. Enjoy the reading!!!!

Muy triste por el fallecimiento de Carolina Valdivia. Apoyó en aspectos complejos a ESO ESO Chile y fue una persona cordial y generosa conmigo. Me entregó la Gran Cruz Bernardo O'Higgins en 2020. Triste y agradecido. DEP latercera.com/nacional/notic…
