Many newcomers due to what's happening in The Bad Place, so here's another #introduction. Hi! I'm an astronomer and science communicator at the European Southern Observatory.

Below is a pic from my previous "office" at ESO's Paranal Observatory in #Chile. I now work full time as Media Officer at ESO's HQ in #Germany.

I mostly post about #astronomy #space #photography and #astrophotography

Welcome!

A vertical image showing the Milky Way framed by the walls of a corridor. The Milky Way appears as a diffuse bright band split longitudinally by dark dust lanes. It has subtle orange tones towards the centre, with a few pink/magenta nebulae sprinkled here and there. The Milky Way stretches almost vertically in this image, with its bright core on the upper part. The Milky Way is framed by two high walls of an underground corridor, with hand-rails on top of each wall. At the end of the corridor, where the Milky Way meets the ground, a lone tree can be seen.

After 15 months of hard work, my dad has finished this impressive model of Minas Tirith! It is 1.4 m high and entirely hand-made out of wood. One of the most time-consuming parts was manually engraving the bricks on all walls and buildings, but this was key to properly convey the huge size of the city. Everything was painted by hand, adding some wear and tear. For a behind-the-scenes look at how he built this check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Ywlc8ojjE

A model of a tall fortress city. Buildings are arranged in different circular levels, each smaller than the one below, like a wedding cake. All levels are crowded with lots of different buildings and towers of various sizes, giving the city a busy look. On the top level there's a palace and a tall spire. There's a huge flat rocky spur slicing the city in half. The buildings and rocks are mostly white. The model rests on a table, with some tools visible in the background.

Tired of all the noise and speculation around 3I/ATLAS? We talked to a comet expert to go through what we actually know about it. From all the Chasing Starlight episodes we've released so far this is probably my favourite! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtiqLxfSiVI

Let’s set the record straight!

The interstellar visitor #3IATLAS cruising through our Solar System is no #alien spaceship and won’t hit Earth.

Still, the buzz around it is far from unfounded. Learn the real science behind it from a comet expert in our latest episode of Chasing Starlight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtiqLxfSiVI
