This Summer Research Programme is an opportunity for university students from STEM fields who have not yet started a PhD programme and have completed at least two years of their Bachelor's degree.

The European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere (ESO) is the pre-eminent intergovernmental ...

Since 2021, ALMA has used a distributed peer review model instead of traditional panel-based review. In a recent study, John Carpenter and Andrea Corvillon analysed more than 20,000 proposals and over ...

Astronomers have finally obtained firm evidence that Betelgeuse, a famous star in the Orion constellation, is not alone. Using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) they have obtained the clearest image ...

This animation demonstrates how astronomers found a ‘moon’ in the CD-35 2722 system. CD-35 2722 is a star about half as massive as the Sun, seen here in the background (point-like source). It has a ...

Using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have found an object in another planetary system that challenges astronomical labels. The object resembles a moon in that it orbits another object ...

VLT image of the Beta Pictoris d exoplanet (Credit: ESO/B. Sutlieff, M. Bonse et al.) A team of astronomers have discovered a third planet orbiting the star Beta Pictoris. The new planet, Beta ...

Astronomers have used the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) to study the composition of 3I/ATLAS, the brightest interstellar object ever seen, in detail. By measuring ...

Four laser beams shine across the magnificent Southern sky in this timelapse video. Each laser comes from one of the four Unit Telescopes (UTs) of ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), here working ...

The Paranal solar ESPRESSO Telescope (PoET), installed at the European Southern Observatory's (ESO's) Paranal site in Chile, has made its first observations. The telescope will work with ESO's ...

When a massive star dies but doesn’t collapse into a black hole, it becomes something almost as strange — a neutron star. This video dives into the world of these ultra-dense cosmic remnants, where a ...

What’s the biggest black hole in existence? This video takes you on a journey through the universe to compare black holes of all sizes — from stellar remnants just a few kilometers wide to the ...
