Rogue planets do not orbit a star but roam freely. Since they are not illuminated by nearby stars, they are hard to discover.

One example? The Licancabur volcano, one of the great gatekeepers of ALMA. 5920 m high, it‘s part of a chain of mountains that separate Chile and Bolivia 🌋

Structure within the major dust tail from the comet is clearly visible, together with two smaller jets trailing the nucleus and maybe even an anti-tail.

It's of the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, photographed by the ESA Rosetta spacecraft.
That bright white plume is a jet of dust and water ice blasting from the nucleus—helping form the comet's long, dusty tail as it approaches the Sun.

One of the most spectacular objects in the sky, Centaurus A is located 13 million light-years away. Here we see the jets ejected from the galaxy centre, signatures of the presence of a supermassive black hole. 🔭

The ELT doors have moved for the first time. This was no small feat, as each door will weigh 650 tonnes once completed.
The ELT dome & its doors will guard the telescope from the harsh conditions of the Atacama Desert.
