"Big surprise": astronomers find planet in perpendicular orbit around pair of stars
Astronomers have found a planet that orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around a rare pair of peculiar stars. This is the first time we have strong evidence for one of these ‘polar planets’ orbiting a s...

Yesterday, astronomers using the #VeryLargeTelescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile said they have detected an #exomoon. But it doesn’t orbit a planet. Instead, it orbits a #browndwarf. Is it the 1st discovered exomoon, or something else? 🤔

A powerful laser beam shoots upward from the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, towards the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The laser creates an artificial star to help correct for atmospheric distortion, improving the quality of astronomical observations. The Milky Way stretches across the night sky, a breathtaking backdrop to this advanced astronomical technology.

A stunning night-time photograph of the Milky Way Galaxy with a powerful laser beam emanating from the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile. The laser creates an artificial star to measure atmospheric distortions, enabling sharper astronomical observations of the galactic center. The image shows the VLT buildings against a backdrop of countless stars and the Milky Way's luminous band.

Using ESO's #VLT, astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds on #exoplanet WASP-127b.

The winds reach speeds up to 33 000 km/h, the fastest jetstream of its kind ever measured on a planet!
