✨Estamos junto a nuestro presidente en @Cooperativa "Matt Mountain: Los telescopios chilenos cambiarán «irreversiblemente» la forma de pensar el universo"🔭 https://t.co/rtlBLw3VYe

A set of workhorse telescopes can be seen in this timelapse captured on Cerro Pachón in Chile. In the foreground is the SOAR Telescope. To its immediate right is @Geminiobs South. Farther still to the right sits NSF–DOE @VRubinObs. 📷: NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/P. Horálek

Our #HubbleTopImage features a cluster that is defying its age. NGC 6388 is a middle-aged (over ten billion years old) globular cluster in the Milky Way – but it isn’t showing its age as astronomers might have expected. 1/2

Did you know that processing a #NASAWebb image from data to finish can take anywhere from four hours to two months depending on the complexity of the observation? Check out all the details about how the images are made at STScI: https://t.co/ATJAF93s5A

La colaboración es importante 🤝 Nuestro presidente, Matt Mountain, sostuvo una reunión con los representantes de la @ucatolica en su casa central. Hablaron de los avances de @VRubinObs de NSF-DOE y el desarrollo futuro de la astronomía en Chile🔭

Signed, sealed…delivering! ✉️ Envelopes of dust and gas surround developing stars in these newly released Hubble images. These views show protostars within a stellar breeding ground called the Orion Molecular Cloud, about 1,300 light-years away.

🔭✨¡Con la mejor astronomía en @congresofuturo ! Nuestro presidente Matt Mountain, dio la charla “La astronomía ha cambiado nuestra manera de pensar” destacando la relevancia de investigar el universo a través de la historia de la humanidad🔭🔭🔭✨✨✨

At the center, two galaxies known as NGC 3921 are in the late stages of merging. Their collision started about 700 million years ago. Their clash, captured by Hubble, caused a rush of star formation. Credit: ESA, NASA; Judy Schmidt.

🤝Junto a @sochias_cl abordamos la preparación de la comunidad astronómica chilena para el uso futuro de @VRubinObs de NFS-DOE y sus cósmicos datos.🔭

🙌🏻¡Nuestras primeras visitas públicas al observatorio @VRubinObs de NSF-DOE 🔭! Recibimos el cariño y la curiosidad astronómica de los visitantes. ⚠️Los cupos son gratis y por el momento está reservado hasta marzo. ➡️Pronto más fechas: https://t.co/SiegRcWJoD

📌¡Un fav del 2025! El eclipse lunar de marzo sobre el Observatorio @cerrotololo Chile. En la foto el 🔭telescopio Deep South y el seeing atmosférico Monitor DIMM2. 📷: P. Horálek

😎Hay que decirlo, de verdad nuestro stand junto con @NOIRLabAstroES ¡fue el más galáctico! ✨Se acaba el @AAS_Office #AAS247 y nosotros estamos felices de contribuir con la ciencia y astronomía a nivel mundial.🔭

✨Impactados con la presentación de @VRubinObs de NSF-DOE 🔭en el domo Dorrance de @azsciencecenter como parte de la reunión #AAS247 @AAS_Office de la cual somos auspiciadores. La animación del observatorio que realizó @experiencecosm estuvo genial 🙌🏻

A team using @NASAHubble has made the first confirmed detection of a new type of astronomical object: a starless, gas-rich, dark-matter cloud, nicknamed Cloud-9. Here's what this object is teaching us about dark matter and the early universe: https://t.co/csCRXnzgDM

Astronomers using #NASAWebb have found a small sample of tiny galaxies that don’t fit existing categories, comparing them to the odd duck of biology, the platypus. Discover these “platypus galaxies” with Webb: https://t.co/eKbJ5aKaS3 #AAS247 🔭

#NASAWebb researchers found iron-rich dust and complex carbon molecules in Sextans A, a nearby galaxy with similar properties to those in the early universe. Why the finding is surprising: https://t.co/uWem6nmQQg #AAS247 🔭

➡️Un recuerdo del año 1996, cuando los telescopios gemelos @geminiobs Norte y Sur estaban siendo construidos. Uno en la cima de Maunakea en Hawaii, y el otro en Chile, en la cima del cerro Pachón Los hermanos galácticos tomando forma ¿Cuántos años tenías cuándo esto sucedía?👀👀

Scientists trained Hubble’s sharp vision on a starless, gas-rich, dark-matter cloud and identified a new type of astronomical object—a failed galaxy that never produced stars. Nicknamed Cloud-9, it is considered a fossil from the early universe: https://t.co/nxdwdPsSQI #AAS247

Resilience has been a part of the elements we’re made of, from the very beginning. Webb revealed two rare kinds of dust in the dwarf galaxy Sextans, implying that even when the universe had only a fraction of today’s heavy elements, stars could still forge solid dust grains.
