Mit innovativer Radartechnologie startet die ESA einen Satelliten zur ersten präzisen Erfassung der globalen Waldmasse.

Unser Autor @pikarl war in Kourou dabei und hat auch direkt im Regelwald Französisch-Guayanas recherchiert, wie die Mission funktioniert:

We have reached the top!

The protective dome of our Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will have two giant sliding doors, that will open at night to allow the ELT to gaze up at the cosmos.

Their structure is being installed atop the dome, meaning that the ELT has reached its highest point. We recently celebrated this symbolic milestone in a ceremony, known as “Tijerales” in #Chile, raising the ESO and Chilean flags.

So continuing with my ramble about the Gingin trip we had to take some astrophotos. So you're sitting in the siding, next an open paddock as your photos stack, and suddenly a loud noise starts up and continues for quite some time.

It sounded like a fox to me, I've never heard one that close before, so see what you think.

A couple of Gingin policemen helpfully drove over with all their spotties on high beam, but turned them off apologetically when they realised we were not the droids they were looking for and then got very interested, and received a quick course in astronomy.

So things can be quite eventful when you're just sitting around, getting those frames stacked.

Here's a couple of photos that @rdm took of me on the last night, where we just set up behind our accomodation just to do a little. You can see I have Sandqvist 149 there, and the other photo I'm sharing with you today.

For your viewing pleasure I fed it into nova.astrometry.net so you can see what's what. But the simple answer is the Tarantula Nebula and friends. I accidentally stopped part way through - even the new long press required isn't foolproof, but with the new mega stack function I was able to start it again and squish the two sessions together so it turned out very nicely.

A woman is sitting on the red gravelly ground of a caravan park with some parched grass behind her. Her head is cocked up at the camera and she is smiling with her mouth closed. Her hair is unkempt, blond and contained by a woolly beanie which is brown striped with a pompom. She has a blue coat on, glasses and a reddish shirt with a Swancon logo and planet on. She's nursing two Android tablets controlling her telescopes. One has the Tarantula nebula showing, the other Sandqvist 149.

The closest is set straight on the tripod and is a Dwarfii, the furthest is set in Equitorial Mode and is a Dwarfiii. In the back ground large eucalyptus trees are illuminated.
