ESOcast 108 Light: First Stone Ceremony for ESO's ELT (4K UHD)
The first stone ceremony for ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope has taken place at the Paranal Observatory in northern Chile, in the presence of the President of Chile.
ESOcast 106: ChileChill 9 — Lasers over Paranal
The "4 Laser Guide Star Facility" was installed at the VLT and are the most powerful laser guide stars ever used in astronomy. Creating multiple artificial stars gives a better understanding of atmospheric conditions, which leads to a better imag
ESOcast 104: Data2Dome: From the Universe to You
ESO has teamed up with Evans & Sutherland and the International Planetarium Society and others from the community to make a standard. We call it Data2Dome, in order to get the latest information into the domes.
ESOcast 103 Light: New ALMA accommodation unveiled (4K UHD)
The stunning new ALMA Residencia building has just been handed over.
ESOcast 102 Light: Dramatic Stellar Fireworks (4K UHD)
Stellar explosions are most often associated with supernovae, the spectacular deaths of stars. But new ALMA observations of the Orion Nebula complex provide insights into explosions at the other end of the stellar life cycle, star birth. This ESOcast
ESOcast 101 Light: Stars found in black hole blasts (4K UHD)
New observations from ESO's Very Large Telescope have revealed stars forming in the huge outflows in galaxies, which are driven by central supermassive black holes. This ESOcast Light takes a quick look at the important facts.
ESOcast 100 Light: Dark Matter Less Influential in Early Universe (4K UHD)
New observations from ESO's Very Large Telescope have revealed that the outer parts of massive disc galaxies 10 billion years ago were rotating less quickly than the spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, that we see today. This ESOcast Light summarise
ESOcast 99 Light: ALMA Sheds Light on the First Stars (4K UHD)
ALMA observations have revealed that a very distant galaxy, seen when the Universe was just 4% of its current age, was rich in cosmic dust. This ESOcast Light quickly looks at what this means and why it is important.
