Seasons Greetings from The European Southern Observatory!

Seasons Greetings from The European Southern Observatory!

    

As we close out 2023, we want to send our best wishes for the holidays and the new year to each and every one of you out there, from all of us at the European Southern Observatory (ESO).

This year marked 60 years of collaboration with the Republic of Chile, 25 years of science with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and 10 years of science with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) that recently published its highest-resolution image. 

Our next project, the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), reached 50% completion this year! 

Thanks for following along on our journey to explore the Universe. 

We wish you a healthy end of the year and a wonderful start to 2024!
