New building at MPIA - it's finally happening!
mpi-astro.bsky.social Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie @mpi-astro.bsky.social · Nov 14
MPIA is growing, and it needs more space for offices, meetings, and lunch. Therefore, it will get a new extension building. The groundbreaking ceremony was yesterday, attended by prominent guests such as Heidelberg's Lord Mayor Eckart Würzner.

Group of people participating in a groundbreaking ceremony outdoors. A diverse crowd stands in the background, smiling and watching the event, while six individuals at the front are equipped with orange construction helmets and shovels. They are actively digging into a pile of sand, symbolizing the start of a construction project. The setting is a grassy area near a modern building, with a tall evergreen tree visible to the right. The atmosphere appears celebratory and collaborative, showcasing community engagement and teamwork.

This is a JWST Space Telescope near infrared image of a star forming region and a nearby protostar. A vast expanding cloud like formation fills the scene set against the dark of space dotted with countless background stars and galaxies. Parts of the cloud rise in uneven shapes that resemble ridges. The cloud appears soft and mist like with its inner regions glowing in bluish tones while the outer edges fade into warmer orange hues.
