The #Atacama #Desert in #Chile has the world's highest elevation geysers and endless salt flats. #Laguna Tebinquinche is our favorite lagoon with turquoise water and white salt crystal outcrops.

Пустыня Атакама расположена высоко над уровнем моря, влажность низкая, так что это идеальное место для наблюдения за звездами. Недаром там расположено много телескопов. Конечно, я сначала купил билеты, и только потом посмотрел календарь фаз Луны. В результате практически на полнолуние попал-в самое неудачное время.
За прошедший год руки так и не дошли обработать фото звёздного неба, но когда-нибудь займусь.

Atacama Desert, Chile

The Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) started its journey from Duisburg to the Chilean Atacama Desert in January.
Now it has arrived at the 5600 m high Cerro Chajnantor! 
The high-tech telescope has two six-meter mirrors and innovative technology.
There should be new insights into the formation of the first stars and galaxies after the Big Bang.

Das Fred Young Submillimeter Teleskop (FYST) hat im Januar die Reise von Duisburg in die chilenische Atacama-Wüste angetreten. Jetzt ist es auf dem 5600 m hohen Cerro Chajnantor angekommen! Das Hightech-Teleskop verfügt über zwei sechs Meter große Spiegel und innovative Technik. Es soll neue Einblicke in die Entstehung der ersten Sterne und Galaxien nach dem Urknall geben. https://uni.koeln/9RWVG

New research by the #Atacama #Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration has produced the clearest images yet of the #universe infancy — the earliest cosmic time yet accessible to humans. The researchers released the images today and will present their results at the American Physical Society annual conference tomorrow. https://www.princeton.edu/news/2025/03/18/new-high-definition-images-released-baby-universe
Cette semaine, nous testions l'optique adaptative de l'instrument #GRAVITY+ de l'interféromètre du #VLT (#VLTI). Avant l'installation des étoiles laser sur les télescopes unitaires 1, 2 et 3, nous avons qualifié le système avec le télescope 4, équipé d'étoiles lasers depuis des années pour d'autres instruments.
J'étais au QG de l'@esoastronomy en Allemagne, mais Anthony Berdeu était sur place et a pu capturer la magie de la #Lune dans le désert d'#Atacama.

Some wildlife on the Chilean Atacama from a couple of weeks ago. The first, the Viscacha, looks remarkably like a cross between a rabbit and a squirrel but is actually a rodent and lives amongst the rocks. The second is the South American Gray Fox, or the Patagonian Fox, which is found solely in Chile and Argentina #Chile #Atacama

This study overturns the idea that N. mollis absorbs water from an unsaturated atmosphere. Instead, its success likely comes from deep roots + unique salt tolerance. (7/7)
