Apr 3, 2025 · NASA’s Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology (RVLT) project is working with partners in government, industry, and academia to develop critical technologies that enable revolutionary new air travel options, especially those associated with Advanced Air Mobility, such as large cargo-carrying vehicles and passenger-carrying air taxis.

The Very Large Telescope (VLT) is an astronomical facility operated since 1998 by the European Southern Observatory, located on Cerro Paranal in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. It consists of four individual telescopes, each equipped with a primary mirror that measures 8.2 metres (27 ft) in diameter.

Mar 9, 2017 · ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) is a flagship facility for European ground-based astronomy. It is one of the world's most advanced optical telescopes, consisting of four Unit Telescopes with main mirrors of 8.2m diameter and four …

Jul 24, 2018 · Neptune from the Very Large Telescope (VLT) This image of the planet Neptune was obtained during the testing of the Narrow-Field adaptive optics mode of the MUSE/GALACSI instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope. A new adaptive optics mode called laser tomography makes extremely sharp images of distant objects possible.

Sep 3, 2024 · For over 20 years, the Very Large Telescope (VLT) has been the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) leading astronomical instrument.

Oct 25, 2024 · These stars are all young, more massive than the Sun, and surrounded by a debris disc. This image from ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) shows the newly discovered planet HD95086 b, next to its parent star.

Feb 23, 2025 · Using data from the four telescopic units of the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), a team of scientists has successfully peered into the atmosphere of an exoplanet...

Over the next few years, the VLT telescopes will explore the universe in unprecedented detail, searching for everything from ordinary planets orbiting nearby stars to extraordinary explosions in the distant universe.

Mar 23, 2025 · From a preliminary reduction, the continuum is well detected over the wavelength range of 5000 to 9000 AA. Broad features, typical of broad-lined supernovae expanding at relativistic speeds, can be clearly identified, with SNID finding a good match with SN1998bw at 14 days after the explosion. Further observations are planned.
