1/ The 4MOST instrument, led by @AIP_Potsdam , will be installed at ESO's VISTA telescope, where it will collect spectra 🌈 of millions of objects over several years.
And one of its key components is about to start its journey from Europe to Chile! ⛴️

Comet 12P is certainly putting on a show! Here are our latest @comet_chasers observations - can you see the ion tail in the colour image? @stmarysbridgend @STFC_Matters @cardiffPHYSX @OU_STEM

@ztfsurvey passed 1 million survey science exposures during UTC 2023-11-12! The full archive, managed by @caltechipac contains over 1.24 million exposures! Since the beginning of full science operations on 2018-03-17, ZTF has observed 1,583 nights.

I'm shocked - SHOCKED - that those are not "alien spherules"
Harvard astronomer’s “alien spherules” are industrial pollutants
Those "alien spherules" that Avi Loeb collected from the bottom of the ocean?
That's not alien technology; it's human-made pollution (coal ash) from industrial activity.
