As the Milky Way band appears to pour into our ELT, the cranes around it seem to do the same while they further advance the telescope 🏗️ 🔭

Once complete, the ELT will be breaking down the light above in unparalleled detail.

The open metallic dome of the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) at the centre of the picture, taking up the lower half of the frame. At the top, like a river the Milky Way band horizontally pours into the ELT. The construction site of the ELT is surrounded by cranes

New kid on the block 🪐

Webb has found the strongest evidence yet of a gas giant around Alpha Centauri A!

If confirmed, it would be the nearest planet that orbits in the habitable zone of a sun-like star.

Illustration of a large spherical object that looks like a gas giant planet. The object appears to have bands of tan, orange, and dark red horizontal lines forming patterns similar to those in the atmosphere of Jupiter. The background is filled with thousands of distant stars that form a Milky Way-like band running from left to right. The host star, Alpha Centauri A, appears as a glowing white circle to the upper left of the planet. Further off in the distance above and to the right of the planet is a smaller glowing circle, nearby Alpha Centauri B. The words “Artist’s Concept” are in the lower left corner.

Farewell #Gaia. You did a great job, now rest and watch over us and the Galaxy. I will continue my work to understand our #milkyway with all the stars you've measured.
Thanks a lot and a huge congratulations!
@esa.int now we need Gaia-NIR.
