Browsing: European Southern Observatory
The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a leading intergovernmental astronomy organization supported by numerous European and partner countries. It operates some of the world’s most advanced ground-based telescopes, including those at the La Silla and Paranal Observatories in Chile, and is constructing the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), which will be the largest optical/near-infrared telescope on Earth. ESO’s facilities enable cutting-edge research in fields such as exoplanet discovery, black holes, galaxy formation, and dark matter. This page features the latest scientific findings, breakthroughs, and telescope updates from ESO’s world-class astronomical research.
